June 27th, 2006 Comments(0)
Phillips has well known family of music streamers - Streamium. They are good and expensive. But a new streamer - SLA 5520 changed this situation. It has only a small two-toned screen, and no video support or extra functionality other than PlaysForSure but the price of the SLA 5520 is just US$99! So, it’s very reasonable for smarthome owners who like music.
