Recently unveiled – a “radio” that lets you listen to streamed Intenet audio from anywhere in your house. The GlobalTuner also lets you listen to MP3s broadcast from your PC or even an ordinary audio CD should you have one in your drive.

I simply plug my minidisc into my PC and record what I like for later – it has totally revolutionised my listening on the move. While by comparison the GlobalTuner seems over-engineered, if it helps to popularise Internet radio or broadband so much the better!

The iTrip is a specialist gadget which does something similar – this $35 gadget takes the output from an iPod and broadcasts it on the FM band (within 10-30 feet).
