Never mind, then. You could always build her something based on a
Raspberry Pi...

The Roku is a pretty cool device, but I'm thinking of a little
all-in-one device that has a speaker built in and grandma-friendly
buttons and knobs.  She can't see far enough to use something that hooks
up to the television.

                Does anyone have any experience with a standalone
                (portable) device for
                playing Pandora Internet Radio?
                
                We want to get a Pandora device for my grandmother, who
                loves music, but
                doesn't have any experience with computers.  She also
                has limited
                eyesight and mobility.
                
                We tried a little satellite radio device, but there just
                weren't enough
                stations that she actually liked, to make it worth it
                for her.
                
                She does have available Wifi and the thought would be
                that the family
                could set up Pandora stations for her and she could
                easily just flip
                through the stations (we would pay for the Pandora
                subscription, as
                well, so there would be a minimum of commercials.)
                
                Any ideas?  I know these devices exist, but I really
                don't know where to
                start searching and what to look for.
                
                Thanks,
                
                Chris
        
        
        
        
        I have no personal experience but have heard that a Roku device
        is what you may be looking for - <www.roku.com>.
