The following podcast from FS should give you a good overview on how to use
this feature:

I would love to learn how to use the Plextalk pocket to receive
internet radio.  Got as far as connecting it to my router but
that's it.  Jim

There is also the option of using the plextalk pocket.  It uses
wy-fi for
web radio.  it can be had from FS for $275.00.  I have one I use
for both
web radio and downloading and listening to podcasts.

A friend of mine is legally blind, 83 years old, and has no
intention of
learning how to run a computer.  Her radio station has left her
behind by
changing from classic country to top forty.  Like many people,
commercial
radio has abandoned her.
I see three wifi radios for sale on http://www.ccradio.com
Has anybody tried a radio like that, and how blind friendly is it
to
operate.  She has access to wifi, but as long as she feels a
radio under her
hands rather than a keyboard, she is happy.

I envy her her tranquility!
