Philips ShoqBox PSS110 Personal Surround System Review

The good: Simple menu navigation; plays DRM-protected WMA files; FM tuner; alarm clock; can use as external speakers for other devices.

The bad: Painfully slow USB 1.1 transfer times; mediocre audio quality; no line-in recording; can't manually scan through FM radio; no expansion slot; puny 256MB of storage.

The bottom line: Slow performance, a relative lack of storage, and uninspiring audio quality mar an otherwise clever idea.
