Grace Digital Inc. has unveiled a new Internet radio home tuner & media player capable of receiving Sirius XM Radio’s (NASDAQ: SIRI) online content. Besides Sirius Premium online content, the new Grace Audio Wi-Fi radio unit (Model# GDI-IRDT200) is compatible with Reciva, iheartradio, CBS Radio, Pandora, Live365, MP3tunes, NOAA, and NPR.

“The Tuner Wi-Fi Radio & Media Player is the perfect way to play your favorite music from around the world conveniently through your home stereo. No need to stream music through a low grade iPhone/iPod dock, small computer speakers, or low quality internet radio. Listen to your favorite stations and music services through the same high quality system you use for all your other home audio needs.”

– Greg Fadul, Grace Digital Audio’s Chief Marketing Officer

The unit can also stream personal music collections from PCs and MACs to a user’s home stereo. Besides using the included remote control, users can also control the device using their Apple (NASDAQ: AAPL) iPhone, iPod Touch, or iPad using the Grace Digital Audio Remote Control App. In a addition to its 802.11g wireless connectivity, the unit also features a built in Ethernet jack. The large display clearly displays song and artist information. Along with its internet streaming capabilities, an FM receiver is also built in.

    At some point SIRI will have all sat content avail via wifi/internet. Once they get past contractual issues this will take off and prove they have the best content amongst their competition.

    Good post, hope this Q gets us moving to build a 1.20 base to get to 1.50 by 2q 11. Thoughts?
