I've been asked (and actually wondered myself) whether this unit is
currently being supported and further developed. I found this article
today at cdrinfo.com, dated just 11 days ago, which appears to
indicate that it is.

Newly Added Retailers and Distributiros Now Selling Com One's Phoenix
Wi-Fi Radio

The Phoenix Wi-Fi Radio from Com One is now being sold by authorized
online retailers tigerdirect.com, mobileplanet.com and buy.com.
Distributors include DBL, D&H and Nice Stuff. The list is growing now
that inventory is readily available.
The attraction- Thousands of radio stations from all over the world.
Podcasts. Audio books. No computer needed to listen -- just a
broadband connection and a Wi-Fi gateway or wireless router. And The
Phoenix gives you the ability to add ANY viable audio source.
Simply go through the short initial set-up, and register your serial
number online to create your personal management page. You only need
to do this if you want to add a station or podcast that is not already
in the preloaded menu listed by genre, country, state and city.
"Com One's Phoenix Radio has taken radio to a new level," said Com One
Executive Vice President Christophe Dissaux. We've reached our Phase 1
goal -- to provide thousands of global listening choices with free
access. Broadcast can't touch the range of program offerings;
satellite can't touch the cost."
The Phoenix Radio's new firmware upgrade provides improved Wi-FI
quality and stability with a WPA connection that is 25% faster than
the previous version and with an enhanced dynamic network bandwidth
manager. Plus, a unique new "My Network" feature allows you to access
UPnP music sources present on your home network or computer through
Windows Media Player. Other new features include "Snooze" function on
the alarm clock to provide second and third wake-up sounds and "Sleep"
function on the alarm clock to shut the radio off after a pre-set
amount of time. Firmware upgrades are available on all Phoenix radios
by following simple prompts on the navigation dial.
