Therefore, where and when can I expect to see the Pure Sensia or Revo Ikon for sale to the U.S.?

The server software has alarm settings - but you'll need to either have powered speakers or leave your amp on. Squeezebox radio is probably better for an alarm. I thought there were weather settings too via a plugin, but I can't seem to find them so that might be the one piece that it still can't do.]]>Dec 10th 2009 2:10PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/10/squeezebox-touch-delayed-until-february-bah-humbug/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/10/squeezebox-touch-delayed-until-february-bah-humbug/
//So close! If this included photo frame, alarm clock,//

The Squeezebox Touch has flickr and facebook support, plus it has an sd card slot so you can view photos that way as well. The Squeezeboxes also tend to have 7 day alarm clocks as well. It doesn't do weather though....yet.]]>Dec 10th 2009 2:23PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/10/squeezebox-touch-delayed-until-february-bah-humbug/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/10/squeezebox-touch-delayed-until-february-bah-humbug/I've got the weather report set up on my Radio. Works well.

A few things come to mind:
burr-brown DAC
FLAC support
integration with slimserver app
as many alarms as you want using pandora, internet radio, nature sound app, or whatever...

Ah okay, good to know. Personally, I would have bought a Chumby One over my Squeezebox Radio if the One had come out earlier.
However, for my home theater, I am waiting for the Touch since it seems like the perfect cover flow, playlist showing, remote control, no speaker box for me.]]>Dec 10th 2009 4:07PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/10/squeezebox-touch-delayed-until-february-bah-humbug/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/10/squeezebox-touch-delayed-until-february-bah-humbug/
//Chumby can connect to the SqueezeCenter server software//

Not particularly well mind you (For one thing you need to have a completely separate device to control what the squeezecenter is sending to the chumby.

//It also has built-in speakers (or /a/ built in speaker, in the case of the chumby One) that don't sound half bad.//

That is like saying that the speakers built into your laptop is a perfectly adequate sound system (which is pretty much what you are getting with the chumbies, relatively cheap laptop speakers that are pointed away from you). Hell the speaker in the Squeezebox radio is probably bigger than the chumby one itself.

Anyway both devices have their specific strong points. Chumby is better at displaying visual information through the variety of widgets that it has, like videos, weather forecasts, clocks, and so forth. The Squeezeboxes are better at audio, having far more variety of internet radio stations, can handle subscription based radio stations, and have better speakers and better wi-fi antennas (no matter how good the reception, streaming radio stations on my chumby generally cuts out after 15 minutes or so, while my squeezebox remains rock solid for as long as I like).]]>Dec 11th 2009 1:00AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/10/squeezebox-touch-delayed-until-february-bah-humbug/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/10/squeezebox-touch-delayed-until-february-bah-humbug/
I think you're overlooking the fact that the Chumby is as ugly as sin.]]>Jan 2nd 2010 5:53AM
