Roberts expands Wi-Fi radio range with four new portables
Four new Internet radios will be joining the Roberts radio roster of Wi-Fi portables, currently comprising the Stream 201 and Stream 202.
The Stream 83i sports Wi-Fi, DAB and FM radio inside a retro-styled cabinet in a high gloss piano black finish. There are snooze, alarm and sleep timers, plus USB playback.
A 'LAST FM' function meanwhile promises to build a virtual radio station for you over time based on the music you listen to on the radio.
This will be joined in shop shelves before Christmas by the STREAMTime, also offering a Listen Again feature, 10 station presets and clock radio and alarm functions.
The Stream 83i and STREAMTime will set you back £150 and £120 respectively.
Next year they will be joined by the Sound 63i (pictured) and the COLOURStream radio systems. Both have DAB/FM and Internet radio, plus an iPod dock and touchscreen control. The Sound 63i also adds a CD drive.

"A 'LAST FM' function – no link to last.fm we presume – meanwhile promises to build a virtual radio station for you over time based on the music you listen to on the radio."
You presume wrongly!
Did you even look at the product or the instruction book? This radio is brilliant, and connects to Last.fm very nicely! It even allows for the details of up to four Last.fm accounts to be entered and stored so that it can be shared by multiple users. Couple that with streaming support for MP3, WMA, AAC, FLAC as well as playback from USB media and it makes a good package. With its 2.1 speaker setup it sounds far better than the Pure Evoke Flow and at the same price it represents far better value for money.
