Credit to groch, this is a repost because the other is flagged dead and it's back in stock. Move quick!
groch said:Amzn now has the Roku R1000 stand alone internet radio Model R1000 for $150 with free shipping. This radio originally sold for $400 and sells nearly everywhere for $300.
This stand alone radio has a built in sub, AM/FM in addition to internet radio and WPA/WEP wireless compatiblity.
No Aux input for your Ipod, but Yes SD card input to play MP3s from flash memory.
The reviews have overall been excellent. I considered buying one a few months ago, but the $300 price pushed me to a Sangean.
Upside: sounds great, has remote, very capable with a fine display.
Downside: Questions about durability (power supply problems) and the health of the Roku Company (no firmware updates in quite a while). However, the founder (Anthony Wood?) is leaving NetFlix and returning to Roku, so who knows, things could turn around.
A great deal on what seems to be a fine radio, though I would like to hear from owners. I think Amazon is the only place to get it this cheap (still $300 on the Roku site) so if you want one, act fast.
