NEW YORK, NY – The Phoenix Wi-Fi radio, now available through CompUSA and tigerdirect.com, opens up a world of radio station choices. Literally thousands of stations, podcasts and other audio sources are at your fingertips with the push of a button, programmable to select your favorites … without a computer peripheral.
Com One’s Phoenix Wi-Fi® Radio has integrated stereo speakers for enjoyable listening to music, podcasts or any other Internet-based audio source. Preset buttons allow an “easy find” of your favorite stations, and you can customize your preferences by bookmarking favorite podcasts and audio books as well.
The Phoenix Radio is lightweight (less than two pounds) and is portable, using rechargeable AA batteries, so you can comfortably move it from room to room. The Phoenix self-charges when plugged into an outlet. All you need is a broadband Internet connection and a wireless gateway or router. With a simple Bluetooth adapter, available from Com One, you can send the audio from the Phoenix Wi-Fi radio to your Hi-Fi entertainment system.
