Portable Internet Radio

Not sure where else to look, so figure I'd ask here. :)

My wife loves listening to internet radio stations streamed through internode, but her computer isn't in the kitchen. Does anyone know of a internet radio that connects wirelessly to a network? I'd build something but I'm not the best when it comes to doing that, and I have no idea where to start. Besides, if I stuff up, the wonderful wife will  Bashhead  biggrin

Thanks

I haven't had any experience with these, but search shopbot.com.au for "wireless internet radio" and you should get some results, including this one:

I think Sonos make what you want but their node stuff is at the high end, designed for multi-room multi-media.

There are a few clock radio things like these around:

And there was one featured a bit in the media recently which looked very cute and I can't recall the name.  However there are a few under the Squeezebox brand that are similar so maybe google that!  Good luck

I bought one a couple of weeks ago from Audi store, only $49 and works brilliantly
