Abstract: Remember Kerbango? In the early months of the decade, 3Com's foray (via acquisition) into the then-nonexistent world of tabletop internet radios crashed and burned before it was ever even launched, a classic example of an arguably visionary product launch...
Abstract: Video Review: How can we not get all breathy over a gadget called the Squeezebox Boom? Apparently, it plays music or some such, but we just really like the name. Of course, well give it a once over in todays Gadget Pr0n....
Fantastically clear audio quality given its size. Supports a host of alarm and snooze functions. Magnetic remote sticks to the top of unit. Dual antennas ensure buttery smooth audio streams. Offers twoweek backup battery for alarm functions. Supports a be...
Unexciting (yet functional) design. A veritable desert for audio outputs. Occasional slow response from the remote. No DRM support can mean trouble for protected iTunes/Zune libraries. Stick to the remote - the glossy black chassis is a fingerprint magne...

Wi-Fi radio with built-in speakers; compact form factor and bright, easy to read screen; supports Wi-Fi and Ethernet home networks; compatible with virtually all non-DRM audio file formats; provides access to PC-based music files (on Windows, Mac, and ...
Rubberized controls and reflective plastic finish show smudges and fingerprints; click knob and control layout takes a bit of getting used to; no compatibility with DRM music files, such as those purchased from iTunes or Zune online stores; AC-only ope...
The Logitech Squeezebox Boom is the best all-in-one tabletop Wi-Fi radio weve seen to date. Specifications: Amplifier total output power: 30 Watt; Remote control type: Remote control (Infrared); Remote control type: Remote control See full specs Price...
Compact and attractive. Streams tunes from your PCs music library. Robust audio codec support. Plays Internet radio and services like Slacker, Rhapsody, and Pandora. Speakers offer laudable power. Magnetic remote is easy to keep track of.
Menu navigation can be confusing. System can be slow to retrieve songs from PC libraries, music services.
The Squeezebox Booms somewhat convoluted interface is overshadowed by slick design and excellent sound quality....
Abstract: This week, Logitech unveiled its new Squeezebox Boom all-in-one network music player. The system, which is not portable so much as it is self-contained, features an integrated 30-watt Class-D amplifier and speakers - a first for the Squeezebox family. ...
Decent sound, good looks, great speakers, relatively simple set-up, Napster Library playback.
Not everything is as intuitive as it should be. Min specs: Network Architecture Supported: Ethernet (10/100 Mbps), 11 Mbps IEEE802.11b, 54 Mbps IEEE802.11g; Media Formats Supported; Audio Format: AAC, AIFF, FLAC, MP3, Ogg Vorbis, WAV, WMA; Output: Audio -...
We really liked the Logitech Squeezebox Boom, though arguably setup and feature navigation on the largely similar Philips NP2900 product was easier still. It’s a chunkier device than the Philips but would still fit neatly on a shelf or bedside table...
Abstract: The Squeezebox Boom is a well-built audio streamer with front-panel controls and a small remote. We liked the chunky rubberised dial, which made it easy to enter our wireless password and scroll through lists of content. The large mono display is bi...
