Intempo reveals kinda sexy Daisy portable internet radio

Last we heard from Intempo, it was busy grasping for business with a slew of ho hum iPod docks, but it's getting '08 started by offering up a slightly (keyword: slightly) more attractive item. The Daisy internet radio can access "thousands" of online and FM stations, and it can reportedly last for around 20 hours before needing a recharge. You'll also find a pretty basic LCD, but outside of that, we wouldn't expect a whole heap of extras. The Daisy is slated to hit production by next April and will land on store shelves with an admittedly steep £149 ($292) price tag shortly thereafter.

so.. how do you enter stations?

It's definitely not $292 "kind sexy".

Actually this sounds really appealing to me. I'll be moving from South Eastern PA to Santa Barbara, CA for college soon, and it would be great to listen to some of the stations back home!

Price it well under a hundred and then ask.

It's hot and nice, but the price isn't that much.

It's definitely not worth $292. If anyone here is interested in an internet radio, you should check out the Asus Air. I just got it for Christmas and its awesome. It wireless G and can also take a ethernet cord. It has over 10,000 stations from all over the world preprogrammed and it also has a remote. From a website that I saw not too long ago they are going for about $150-$175. Too bad its not portable, but its quality thats for sure.

'Nokia Internet Radio' for Nseries users is free and worthwhile for owners wishing to get their world music on. It's in 'beta' at the moment but that doesn't stop it from working remarkabley well. Go to Nseries.com for the .sis file should you be interested in checking it out for yourself.

Bleh, it at least needs a real screen, especially for that price.

Here's the choice:

1.) Lower the price to $99.99 and no useage fee.
2.) Large color touch screen.
3.) Add a Gig of memory and "Tivo" like funtions.
4.) Make it an alarm clock.

Pick at least two, and I'll buy it.

Not a lot of experienced internet radio users here, I see.

There are no user fees.

The ASUS Air got really bad reviews compared to the others that are available. I was surprised that ASUS would make something mediocre, but apparently, they have.

I would only consider one that works with the Reciva system, and the best ones are the AE (which I have), the Tangent Quattro, and the Sangean (forget the model number). Anything else is risky business.

$300 is par for the course for internet radios (why, I'm not sure, but do a search and you'll see).
