Interestingly, Rich, I made the same point regarding Adobe in another discussion forum a few days ago. The demise of Flash (probably on the desktop eventually, too) is likely to breathe new life into technologies more compatible with standalone Internet radios.
I also think your observation on the general lack of "Android docks" is a good one. There is a market there and electronics manufacturers have been slow to go after it. A related note is that my Android based phone actually comes with an FM chip, too, and when you plug in earbuds it will use the earbud wires as an antenna and tune into FM broadcasts (alas no HD yet). Of course, with all the internet radio apps I have rarely had a reason to use it though my daughter (age 12) actually does use it. Imagine, radio from a broadcast. How retro. <grin> -- -Rob de Santos -----Original Message----- From: Richard Cuff [mailto:rdc...@gmail.com] Sent: Tuesday, November 22, 2011 3:13 PM To: Internet radio discussion Subject: Re: [Internetradio] Internet Radio Holiday Gift Ideas The whole iPod / iPhone dock world is a space unto itself. I bought an iHome unit a couple weeks ago as a hybrid clock radio - internet radio, since I already have the iPhone. Sound is OK, not great, but serviceable. Set me back $50 at Best Buy. https://www.ihomeaudio.com/iP21GVC/ Slightly off topic, but I wonder if the white flag being hoisted by Adobe regarding Flash for mobile devices will prolong the utility of Internet radios for those broadcasters who jumped headlong into flash audio without retaining MP3/AAC audio options. That's one thing the iPhone has going for it vs. Android devices -- I have seen very few choices for Android speaker-dock combinations.
