Re: [SlimDevices: Radio] Radio Vs Boom
FYI - The Radio doesn't come with a battery pack. It will be a separate accessory you can buy. Wasn't sure if you understood that since you asked about buying a spare battery. It can be wired. Radio does not have a subwoofer connector. You might like the Radio better for the bedroom, and then you could put your Boom in the dining room. -- MeSue SUE 1 Duet | 2 Booms | 1 Radio (beta) | 1 Touch (beta) | 1 SB2 HP MediaSmart EX470 | Squeezebox Server 7.4 Find me on 'Last.FM' (http://www.last.fm/user/MeSue) | 'Twitter' (http://twitter.com/suechastain) MeSue's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=985 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=68368 ___ Radio mailing list Radio@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/radio
Re: [SlimDevices: Radio] Radio Vs Boom
Yes, new Radio can be wired. Radio is mono, but sounds good. Batteries are (will be) offered as a "package" of a battery & remote for $49, dunno if one can just buy an extra battery. I think you hit all the important differences between them.

[SlimDevices: Radio] Radio Vs Boom
I've already got a boom in our bedroom but want to get something for the dining room originally I was looking for another Boom but given the Radio's released tomorrow I thought this would be an option. >From looking at the two the differences I immediately see are Boom is stereo (sort of) and wired, while the Radio is portable (Can it be wired?), has a colour screen and looking at pre-release pricing its around £30 cheaper than the Boom. Is that about it on the differences? Can you buy a spare battery pack? Is the sound as good as the boom? Would anyone recommend the Boom over the Radio? Thanks for you help.
