internet radios?
are there any radios, that are stand alone, that connect to the modems wirelessly and work?
rather than having to connect them via a computer, or stream from computers?
i.e have I understood the description correctly, does this do what I said? or does it have to connect to the computer?

You can get a speaker docking station to boost the sound off eBay.
It can also be used as a video camera, stills camera, time lapse cam, dash cam, Juke Box, Skype phone, Facetime device, portable TV, kindle, iBook reader, magnifying glass, Spectrum Emulator, Web browser, Forum reader and thousands of other gadgets.
Best thing I bought since the Spectrum with no monthly charge.

this is currently the model I'm most interested in;

just remember to hide it when the commandant comes round, or it'll be two weeks in the cooler. :-P
Maybe the other US-based WoSsers can prove me wrong here...
My uncle used to be into making crystal sets.
This is mine. Stereo of course.
Any radio station. CB, Police Scanner (Chicago is hottest) plus, of course every TV station that Freeview has and a few more. The remote works the volume only but works fully with tranferred CD albums and iTune downloads.
No need for the docking station. I only use it when listening with friends.
Also plays ZX Dingo for free legally.
as a kid I used to listen to Radio Moscow. :D
Yes they do four colours but not white. However the wife has a black iPhone so this doubles as an early Christmas present :-)
Using a ZX Spectrum does teach you logic.
There is a wide choice of such devices.
and, changing the subject slightly, does anyone know are there any phones that I can buy, that I can surf the net wirelessly from a router, and not via the phones network?
Yes the iPod 4 touch surfs the net. It comes with the Safari browser and Wikipedia etc pre-installed but there are thousands of Web applications.
The only thing missing (a bit) is the compass and the GPS and front camera light. There are Apps for reading vBulletin forums like WOS but Martijn would have to enable his site to get the most out of them.
Most Apple and Android phones have Wifi. Also the expensive Symbian Nokia 5800 mentioned in the other thread. One of the cheapest is the two-camera t-mobile Vivacity mentioned in the other thread at ?99. Launched 2 days ago. I get mine tonight. Cheekily it uses your Wifi allowance (which you pay your ISP for) to boost its 3G quality. However you can surf using only your Wifi (as per iPhone) and if you also use Skype, Tango etc. you can call other phones without incurring any charges.
It's a game changer.
Once you've paid upfront, neither the iPod 4 nor the Vivacity involve a monthly charge.
The iPod 4 has Facetime and 5GB cloud storage free for life. *
The Vivacity (etc) comes with ?10 PAYG and that will probably last me a year.
