Most boomboxes sell for, I'd guess, $150 to $250. A Slim boombox would be starting with a $300 streaming component and then you would have to add speakers, an amplifier and maybe CD and radio, too. Knowing the quality audio that Slim Devices likes to deliver, I doubt this would be entry-level equipment. So you're probably talking about, what, a $600+ boombox? Is there a market for such a device? Or are my cost assumptions incorrect? I would think they'd be taking a big chance on such a product.
My target setup is a $300 Squeezebox with a $200-$300 pair of powered speakers. So a Squeezeboombox that costs $500-$600 is in range with what I'm doing now, only integrated.
I do want an FM tuner, I don't want a CD player, I don't want output jacks if they're going to increase the cost, I do want a remote (the shipping one, not something running its own OS).
Speaking of FM tuners, if the NBT is an integrated Slimserver platform, slap a FM Tuner in that too. It's stupid to stream Internet radio of a station that's broadcasting through your window.
