I notice from the Argos website that they have 5 internet radios
ranging in price from £90 - £150.
I'd post the results, but I think there'd be a fair chance the links
wouldn't come out right. So just go to the Argos home page and to the
search edit box and do a search on "internet radio" and you'll get the
results page.
Now, just maybebe, if someone would sell an accessible Internet radio,
maybe with a number of presets and the ability to operate wirelessly
to the phone socket, then I';I'd be interested at a cost of around
£200 - £25.00 for the privilege of having it accessible.
Cheers,
From Ray

Well Ray, being completely cynical as well as smiling all the time
over my
new toy, I think that if we hadn't taken the plunge, we'd never know.
I'm
not hanging about to wait and see if an organisation will come up
trumps and
charge us twice the price for the privilege, adding a load of other
features
to a product to justify themselves like DAISY. If I wanted a DAISY
player,
I'd get one. If I wanted to subscribe to TNAUK, I'd do it. I
wouldn't wait
for an Internet radio to come out, or for them to decide when or if we
could
have it. So I did what I knew would be the only way and browse to see
what
is currently available. There are about eight different models in
Argos. I
just wrote down the catalogue number of two, and Ian went for the
first
choice on my bit of paper.
I must warn you though that this isn't for the faint-hearted, and I
never
thought it would be. I haven't done anything else with it yet as I've
got
it hooked up to the hi-fi and listening to a radio station. This unit
lets
you play music from your PC, and it has a USB port to connect a pen
drive or
memory stick. There is also an ethernet port and wireless capability,
as
well as a headphone socket.
I'm going to see if I can rake for an accessible manual, or perhaps
try to
scan the print instructions that come with it.
More later.
