Internet radio continues to increase in popularity.?UI, sound quality, and ID of the models being shown are continuing to improve and by this time next year this should be a very hot category.
Ease-of-use and UI are the most important things to address in order to make a product successful here.?The user is looking for an ‘upgrade’ of their current radio listening experience whether it be AM/FM or satellite – so an internet radio will need to function just as effortlessly.
The better solutions that are out there have simple iPod-style menu systems which allow you to drill down from music or talk-radio genres to regions or specific stations.?Buffering and menu loading wait-times are not unreasonable.
The music content that is out there right now is pretty well-rounded and quite international so the only thing that is missing now is the hardware and mainstream acceptance.
By October this should be one of the hottest categories on the show floor and by next year it should really start gaining traction at retail.
