$110 USD is a nice price for a WiFi radio. My concern with these
dedicated WiFi radios has always been if the company/server it
connects to goes belly-up, you've got an expensive
paperweight. A general-purpose computer or tablet is flexible
enough to run multiple 'internet radio' programs--thus avoiding this trap.
