I was one of those people looking out of a boombox version of the
slimserver. I guess the problem with such a device is that it would
need to be tethered by weighty batteries or a mains power supply.

However, with a Nokia N80 or other S60 phone with wi-fi you can achieve
a similar effect with the freely available open source internet radio
player. The downside is that you cannot control the stream from the
phone, and wi-fi reception from the phone is not particularly powerful.
Nonetheless this is extremely cool.

You need to install the both the Nokia open source Internet Radio
application and Shoutcast engine from: 

http://opensource.nokia.com/projects/s60internetradio/ClientPage.html

You will also need to create a playlist file (e.g. slimserver.pls) and
copy to the /Shoutcast directory on the same drive as the installation.
For me the file looks like this:

[playlist]
File1=http://10.0.0.10:9000/stream.mp3
Title1=Mobile Slimserver
Length1=-1
NumberOfEntries=1

Also, if you want to be able to use AlienBBC (listen again in the bath
is definitely where it's at!) you will need to make the modification to
RTSP.pm as helpfully outlined in:

Don't forget to throttle the bitrate to your mobile once it appears in
the players list and you will have a cool mobile radio  you can use
around the house!
