Below are details from a generic review in the UK when it first came out, they can now be picked up for much cheaper than that in UK/Europe (apparently even half price from some places).
Originally I was going to buy the cheapest Android tablet I could find and some active speakers but this has the whole in one box about the size of a 1980s small Japanese transistor radio and a built in battery and cheaper than the separate components.
The sound quality is amazing for such a small device (it is about 150mm wide) and I am notoriously fussy about audio quality, especially for specialist dance shows..
I've tried the The Tune In application with a number of stations in the directory and they are all on there...
OK the touchscreen is resistive so not as "new" but its no worse than the old style PDAs from the mid 2000s (must see if I can find a old stylus from one as my hamfisted fingers find typing in station names a bit small)
but it does the job - I even wonder if the fact that its useable as an android device but not quite top range could even be advantageous as its more likely to be simply used to tune in stations rather than listeners being distracted by other features (though you can apparently play angry birds on it as well!)
