The Philips NP2500 offers many of the features available on more-expensive digital audio streamers for less money and has an attractive color display, but it's hard to see from a distance and playback has some occasional hiccups.

Incredible sound ; Great experience thanks to the several lines color display ; Album arts available for Rhapsody and UPnP as well as internet radios logos ; Can play Itunes tracks tks to Twonky SW bypacked ; Strong WiFi streaming performance

NP1100's useful quick jump function not available ; LastFM, Pandora and Napster not available

I love the internet radio and the fact that I can playback my iTunes music collection ; The color screen is of good size and shows the album art as well. They have build a feature in called "full sound" and you can really hear the difference ;

The Rhapsody trial made me very interested and I am considering if I should take a subscription. Would be nice if the price was lower for that and if you can keep some tracks after the subscription expires

It looks good -- once you keep it switched off

The software is extremely poor, the interface is just flat-out awful -- and I'm required to pay extra for it
