It didn't take very long to see news of the shutdown(http://www.xpvistasite.com/kx_pci_56000_28411.htm)... "3Com has decided to shut down its Internet Appliance division, including Kerbango, the Internet radio service. The move will seriously impact Apple's iTunes... but the decision to shut the Internet Appliance division is one of a set of massive cost-cutting measures the company is implementing." It is good to see others picking up the challenge and forcing down pricepoints. The essential drivers for streaming Internet radio are just too compelling. Now to get all of that content streaming into our cars! I remember the great promise of Kerbango (http://www.gadgetcentral.com/kerbango_intro.html) before it was acquired by 3COM for a reported $80M.
