Sanyo was the pioneer of the infamous transistor way back in the day and it sounds like Sanyo is working to maintain their status as a pioneer in the field of music. This time the Sanyo has updated their transistor with a modern twist that includes Internet Radio capability, all packaged into a design that will remind you of the transistor yester year.

The Sanyo Internet Radio looks contemporary, but features the comfortable familiarity of a clock radio, and also boasts a sound quality that is superior to some of your immense home stereo systems. The Sanyo Internet Radio R227 can play literally thousands of Internet radio stations at no cost by relying on either Wi Fi or Ethernet technology to get it started. There is no subscription or computer required for this device, and it will work on any broadband Wi Fi or Internet connection.
