I picked this one up at Best Buy for $40. I am discovering all kinds of internet stations I didn't even know existed. Easy set up..as long as you have a wireless router it will work. The infocast features iheartradio which features many Clear Channel stations. Nice display...you can search by city and format. It also allows you to select favorites and play on shuffle.
The Shoutcast section features hundreds,maybe thousands of internet stations. You go to the search engine,type in the web address or say, oldies, and 25 stations matching that category will show up. The only hassle is there is no place to save favorites,and that can be quite cumbersome.
When you set this up with your computer it will give you a choice of over 1000 apps, like The New York Times,People,Entertainment Weekly and a lot of CBS stuff including stories on their evening news, 60 minutes pieces and the monologues from David Letterman and Craig Ferguson.
Theres a lot of stuff packed in this unit and it is so nice to hear Internet stations that cater to my tastes..a wide variety of oldies from the 50s through the 70s..stuff you can't find on terrestrial or satellite radio. I'll probably upgrade to a more complex model with station favorites eventually,but for $40 I found a gem here and I've been using it constantly.
You might want to check out Best Buy. Last I looked it was going for $50..still quite a deal.

Sungale CA700VCR 7-Inch Digital Frame with Video Clock and Radio (White) Review

I bought this a few days ago from Office Max on sale for $59.99 (normally $79.99).
Now, I am taking it back.
The idea is a great one, and the unit looks pretty decent at first.
Unfortunately, looks are deceiving on this one.
1. Speakers occasionally sound like something is touching the cone.
2. You can NOT listen to the radio and see pictures at the same time.
3. The controls are awful! There is a tiny 'exit' button, and a tiny 'ok' button which is surrounded by a circle button with directional arrows.
4. It is NOT a touch screen. That's fine, but the directional arrow button frequently goes a different direction than I intended. Since the menus are all navigated by this circle button, it is very frustrating to use.
5. Radio gets great reception, but controls are clunky. There are five 'buttons' pictured on the screen: Normal, Stations, Record, Favorite, and Scan. Does it record from the radio?? No, you 'record' your favorite stations. You first push 'exit' to get the top button to 'light up' (changes color and flashes the word), then push the down arrow and hope it stops on the 2nd button. If you push 'ok', you can then use the up/down arrows to change stations - even though the radio image has a normal radio bar pictured which goes left to right. (left and right is for the volume - so you don't turn the volume 'up' or 'down', you turn it left and right!!)
3rd button is record, 4th is Favorite - use this after you 'record' your favorite stations, and 5th is Scan. Quickly scans the entire dial to find out where all the stations are.
Good luck with the Photo/Music/Video functions. It takes a while for it to discover all the files/folders on your memory card. Then there is no way to navigate through the pictures or music files.
To sum it up, I am looking forward to the Sony or Panasonic version of this device. For now, I'd rather have NOTHING than have this.
