- The ability to carry a music device anywhere around my house and listen to music, as long as it's in Wifi range. With a SB this is possible if you also carry around a small set of speakers (and possibly some form of battery power) -- but this is less convenient, to me. Having a single unit boombox that can run on batteries is much more convenient, I feel.
- The ability to use that same device for FM radio and/or CDs, which are the other two ways I might reasonably want to play music in a portable fashion. This would make the device useful away from home.
- Bonus points if it has some (perhaps optional) form of portable disk storage, so I can bring digital music with me away from home.
Yes, there are other devices that can cover each of these individually. I want one device that can do it all. Audio quality would not be the emphasis, since it's a boombox. Convenience and portability and ruggedness would be my primary considerations.

Well,
I really, really don't want a boombox. The whole point of the SB3 to me
is the high quality sound and if you are going down the boombox route,
then why not go for one of the several lower-fi ones already out there?
Or even the new Apple one.
I would much rather see a radical new audiophile SB, modular so that
you could have a transport only for those of us with DACs. Still, it
ain't my company and I already have that almost by modding the SB2.
