Choyong A8W internet radio

Just thought I'd post about a cheap and cheerful Chinese gizmo I've been enjoying:

I know you can listen to anything you want on your phone, but if you appreciate listening on something that actually feels like a radio to operate - just to see what's out there, and accidentally finding stations you really like (plus having a decent speaker!) - then this could be for you.

It's really easy to use - you can either search by continent and country, or use the voice search., The thing that surprised me most about it is how stable it is. It rarely refuses to play a station or drops the connection once it's going. Battery life is good; it runs for hours on its built in Li-Ion battery (the type Nokia used to use in the 3410 and such). There's a SIM card slot if you want to use it off-WiFi, a SD card slot and a (rather crap) FM tuner too.

It costs a shade under £60 delivered on Aliexpress.
