This is the first time I've seen a very simple device. Once you turn it on and you've gone through the very logical steps of joining your wireless network you can use it straight away. There's no installation of PC-SW needed (like I saw for the Squeezebox) and there's no need to enter your email / create an account. Seems Philips really keeps up to its promise and makes devices very easy and simple to use. The display is indicated with 3", however when you take a ruler and check it is 4.1". Seems somewhere a typo happened ...
The Rhapsody free trial is also a great idea - it allows you to test first, and later decide to join this Service ...
The Internet radio is great. Looks like a vTuner face. It plays every station which I selected and there was no giggling sound or stuttering. Good done !
Finally, I love the idea of having a volume control in the device (even on line-out). So I can use one remote to control !
The display looks great, considering the money spend on this device ...
Good ! Hope Philips makes devices with color screen too and over also Servers in the US (I saw something like a MCi500H being available in Europe).
Pick up yours today.
