Philips Streamium NP2900

By (cnet.com)

Excellent sound quality for its size ; unique color screen that displays album art ; full Rhapsody integration ; provides access to thousands of Internet radio stations ; stylish exterior design ; easy setup to stream music from connected PCs

Interface can get sluggish with large music libraries ; slight delay between tracks ; no support for Pandora, Last.fm, or Slacker ; included remote occasionally confusing

The Philips NP2900 is a great-sounding Wi-Fi radio with a unique color display, but it doesn't offer enough features to justify its price premium over competitors.

Wifi capability. Can allow user to have Internet radio and MP3 player without having to hassle with hooking up a bulky system

Like my old DVD player, it's almost useless without the remote. You can't detach the speakers and aim the sound in the direction you want

"Great sound and good artwork.I am really enjoying it !!"

Sound quality is amazing especially with Livi... 

I am overwhelmed by the LivingSound audio - that surrrrrrrrrrround effect is heavenly. Nice color LCD. Can see my favorite artwork. I recently bought a NAS and was a bit worried whether this thing will work with it but i am wrong :) Happy guy here ;)

Toooooo costly for these less features. No lastfm, no napster, no flicker. What is the use of a color lcd without streaming from Youtube? Many devices supports it, you know
