Pandora over Wi-Fi is nothing new, but dedicated gadgets are few and far between. Livio aims to change that with the Livio Radio, which the company calls "the first and only dedicated device to offer Pandora's signature 'thumbs up, thumbs down' controls on both the front panel and a remote."
The Livio Radio lets Pandora users customize the programming they receive across any genre without having to pay a monthly fee. "Pandora's listeners are increasingly using Pandora off of the PC, so we're always looking for new products that make that easy to do, and have wide appeal for listeners," said Jessica Steel, Pandora's senior vice president of business development. "The Livio Radio is a great way to bring Pandora into the home."
The Livio Radio features a detailed LCD with a signal strength meter, a large knob that controls volume as well as menu navigation, and a headphone jack for private listening. The unit costs $150 and is available direct from the manufacturer's Web site. It will also look great next to that other tabletop radio you already bought.

This thing looks really cool, but I can't find out from the manufacturer's website if it will allow you to listen to your (already created) custom Panora "stations." I have a few "stations" that I have pretty dialed in to how I want them on Pandora, and would love to be able to listen to them on this radio. Does anyone know if this is possible?

Hi Brap.
The Livio Radio automatically syncs with your online account and will therefore transfer all your already made stations. If you edit a station on your Livio details will transfer back to your online account and visa versa.
