Amazon's under $200 "Kindle Fire" is not only as portable as any
shortwave portable, its dual speakers and decent audio work very well
with the excellent free TuneIn Radio app:

Since our traditional "Listening Lounge" is now impractical due to
the Doubleday Hotel's Faraday cage, maybe we should encourage
attendees to bring their 'Internet Radios' to demonstrate and compare.

I believe the forum list is pretty well confirmed...and at this point
we don't have a "radio via Internet" forum on it.
However, I'd be happy to do an informal roundtable in the exhibit room
at some point Thursday through Saturday regarding this space.
I keep an Excel spreadsheet with the "traditional" English language
international broadcasters and the options one now has for listening
via SW, WRN, Internet live / Internet on-demand, podcast, etc.
I'm with David - with the iPhone / Android, Tune-in Radio is my
favorite. One doesn't need to mess with the BBC's paid app to access
live streaming audio, and other BBC programs are podcast - and
available free on-demand. The BBC also has a not-widely-published
list of links for on-demand programs that typically carry recently
prepared editions (i.e. Newshour) a few hours before they show up as a
podcast.
There are a slew of PC applications that are relevant to this discussion also.
