I hooked up one of the new Aluratek Internet Radio Alarm Clocks with Built-in WiFi last week and have been reaping the benefits ever since!

This device connects up to your home network via built in wireless and has the ability to access over 11,000 radio stations worldwide via built-in vTuner and best of all, they’re free!

The device is amazingly simple to configure and comes with it’s own remote control. The menus are also very well laid out for easy access to the stations by genre or geographical location.

While it is marketed as a clock radio, it also has the ability to connect to your home stereo and act as a media server. That means you can use it to connect back to your Windows Media Player or iTunes library to stream your own digital music. You can even connect it to your USB storage device and have it serve as your MP3 player.

You can learn more about this device at aluratek.com

Dwight Silverman proudly shows us his iPhone. I chose to let the iPhone remain in color while desaturating the rest. I find the contrast between the shiny new technology and the not so shiny new tech geek rather compelling.

Nothing personal, Dwight!

Looks very cool larger and on black

Dwight returns. The crew gets it’s “funny” back.

You guys helped me! — Technology Bytes contact form

Hey — just wanted to say thanks! I called in last night about a computer
that suffered a killer power surge and I was trying to get the info off of
the hdd by making it a slave. I bought one of those USB enclosures and it
worked! I got everything I needed. You saved me several thousand dollars
and weeks of redoing all that work!

You guys are awesome!
