[chewie1]

[kxy]

I would assume so

 

[JediFOB]

i would just like to say that anandtech has become incredibily annoying, the people are becoming selfish and arrogant, flaming newbies for posting on inappropriate threads and such and hiding hot deals such as the beta test, why even bother proclaiming how selfish you are by flaming people who post hot deals, this was very uncool of those people who flamed ohio, i really don't care if you flame me, because i know i'm better person than y'all

Dear XXXXX XXXXXXX:

Thank you very much for applying to be a beta-tester for Philips FW-i1000,
Internet Audio Mini Hi-Fi System. Thanks to your support and interest, the whole application
process went on smoothly and ended with a great success last Friday, March
15.

Unfortunately, this time your name was not selected in our random lucky
draw. However, we would like to assure you that there will be more
opportunities in near future, and that you will be one of the first to be
informed of the event.

In July, we will announce on our web site at which retailers FW-i1000 will
be available. Remember, when you choose to buy FW-i1000, you'll enjoy over
one thousand internet radio stations and you can play MP3 songs from your PC
via the home network.

Again, thank you very much and best wishes from your friends at Philips!

Philips Internet Audio Team

and i didn't get in

 

[Atrac]

Didn't get one either. Time to ditch all of my Philips equipment. Wait, other than Tivo, I don't own Philips. Oh yeah, they suck.

check out Sonicbox This is the company whose software (iMTuner) is supported by this Philips stereo. It can search for thousands of radio stations around the world. I think it is pretty revolutionary too. The iMTuner also has a hardware counterpart where you can wear it around your house and it'll play the music broadcasted by your PC.

 

[Cyberian]

Nothing here either - But this was a reeeaaaaaal long shot to start with!

There will be more chances.

 

[Ranger X]

I did not get in.

 

[Willith]

I received the bad news today. I guess I'll try again for another cool beta.
