Acoustic Research have released their ARIR200 Wi-Fi Internet Radio which, apart from being a butt ugly device (it’s a personal opinion, might do it for you) offers integrated support of Slacker Personal Radio, MP3tunes and WeatherBug Support.
Coming with USB and Ethernet connectivity as well as built-in wireless connectivity, the Acoustic Research ARIR200 additionally comes with standard AM/FM radio and enough built-in memory to store up to a purported 10 hours of audio broadcasts and, whilst this particular version doesn’t offer iPod connectivity a later version, namely the ARIR600i, apparently will when it’s released later in the year.
“In keeping with the AR commitment to quality and technology, we wanted to cut the tether to the PC and bring the vast Internet radio listening experience into other rooms of the home in a way unmatched by any other competitive product,” said Tom Malone, president, Audiovox Electronics Corporation. “We added customization and content partners that will bring consumers an enhanced level of enjoyment available exclusively in the AR Infinite Radios.”
The Acoustic Research ARIR200 internet radio is rolling out now and will set you back just shy of $130 which the aforementioned version featuring iPod support will come in at $200 at the point of release.
