or, you know, just a radio, a device that's cheap, reliable, fast, responsive, low power, potentially small/portable, fault-tolerant, and private and secure by default.

it's a neat project, but if the goal is simply to listen to nearby radio stations (rather than streams), the simple radio is peerless.

Not nearby, that was the original problem.

yah, figured as much but didn't see anyone else mention the obvious.

as mentioned in your sibling comment, i also wish apple had given us radio functionality in their idevices. as i understand it, it was mostly a matter of providing an app and not disabling the hardware, at least in some if not all iterations of the iphone.
