The editors didn't like
Battery pack should be included
Slow startup
No remote control
No tone control
No remote included
Setup can be tedious
Sound quality could be better
Some connectivity issues
Mono only
No remote
No artwork/control for iPod content
Somewhat bizarre musical sounds & sound effects
No ability to comment on Facebook
It would be great if there were a way to change the colors or otherwise jazz up the boring black & white clock screen
No way to customize clock display
Handheld remote not included
Can't pool libraries together
Causing needless confusion. Preset buttons are tied to individual libraries. Requires you to keep a Mac running for local files because it can't play directly from a network server. Many buttons are rarely used.
Set-up can be a hassle. Streaming and buffering issues over Wi-Fi. Weak sound quality. Remote not included.
No removable storage support
Remote and battery pack cost extra
Slightly more expensive than competing radios
Setup could scare off tech novices
Not a perfect alarm clock
Doesn't sound quite as good as the Squeezebox Boom
Some stability issues.
Mono sound
Lacks stereo speakers
Remote control costs extra
Uses an 802.11g Wi-Fi radio

Lack of included remote

Switching to Web-based control requires manual setting changes.

Compact, portable all-in-one design; good sound for its size; support for a wide variety of audio formats; access to streaming online content.
Navigation and text entry can be tedious; control limited without expensive remote or third-party iPhone app; switching to Web-based control requires manual setting changes. Min specs: Mac OS X 10.3.5 or later.
As a small, convenient, tuneful portable music streamer the Radio has a lot going for it and the new applications gallery, while less than essential, is more than a gimmick. But charging extra for a remote control and battery is frankly a disgrace, si...

Remote is optional extra; text-entry system is laborious
