I know you were looking at some of these Yamaha models a while back and thought you might be interested in this short write-up of a new one:
It looks pretty geeky with all of the alarm options and smart phone syncing, but I wonder how it sounds? Maybe Santa will bring me one (probably not).

The shell/cabinet looks a lot like my Tangent internet radios! I have the red lacquer in my bedroom and also the walnut in my living room.

Looks to me like it's a bit of a step toward talking the "radio" out of a clock radio. It has a tuner. but it
s also Bluetooth, cell phone link up program, and USB connection. How many people that have that will be waking up to whatever is on their phones (podcasts and streaming severances) instead of Larry, Sally, And Putz In The Morning and their seemly non-stop onslaught of commercial spots?
That little Yamaha isn't a good sign for broadcast radio.
Case in point:

"Larry, Sally and Putz In The Morning" I love that and plan to steal it to use regularly, D.I.F.!!! It's so on target.
