Makes sense. A cheap tablet and a speaker are easily integrated with other systems. Wondering aloud (in a virtual way) if the "portal" function can be duplicated in a public web site -- then you have the ability to use a "library" of personal stations across multiple devices. I know that several of the apps allow you to add your stations, but I'm thinking outside that. Something that duplicates what the portals for Reciva, Pure, Vtuner, etc. do but specifically for Android/iOS based devices functioning as "internet radios/media devices". Create it once and use it everywhere. Might have to require a small monthly subscription fee to be self-supporting.
Might be a nice website.

Whether one chooses an iOS device (iPhone / iPad) or an Android device (tablet / smartphone), marrying a good speaker to a device like this is probably the way to go. Sort of like the "component stereo" days of the 1970s onward, where we hooked up receivers (combination amplifiers / tuners), speakers, turntables, and cassette decks) for our home audio. For now, at least, the platform gatekeepers of these devices -- Apple and Google -- appear likely to maintain their dominant position in the technology ecosystem for the foreseeable future. What remains interesting is the power play between aggregators / directory servers (TuneIn top-of-mind) versus content providers...
