OK, now we know what is an internet radio. What's the future look like? Why not look at what Sony's (arguably the biggest audio brand) CEO has to say in CES 2009:
Ninety percent of Sony products will connect to the internet and to each other by 2011. Sir Howard Stringer promised the 2009 CES crowd in the show’s opening keynote. Examples were woven throughout the lengthy session that smartly kicked off with a stand-up routine by Tom Hanks: a WiFi CyberShot camera that goes on sale today and can send images directly to Bravia sets as well as online; the next-gen Sony Dream Machine, an always-connected clock radio produced with the folks at Chumby; video that can move between the Bravia and the PSP; Gracenote, which can manage music content across platforms; and so on. But seamless only works when everything around it is, well, seamless. For instance, Sony’s Cyber shot demo worked only because, unlike mere mortals in the ballroom, it had access to a wireless network. The Chumby radio will wake you up with the latest music video from Bruce Springsteen—as long as your home network is up.
Does anyone need more persuasion?
