Pros: Verry small Fm radio receiver ;)
Easy to use. Just plug in and drag&drop a radio program from included CD. I can listen all radio station trough my computer. Good reception.
Cons: Included software for Fm dongle could be better. It's so basic. Only simple configurations you can made. Also not working RDS, but with alternative software RDS is OK. I know what's wrong with original program.. antena is very thin. I'm afraid to not broke it..
Other Thoughts:
Bottomline: overall it's great device. If you want to receive Fm radio station on your personal computer or laptop it's a good choise.
P.S. Price is too big for that kind of product..Could be lower, but it not mean a lot because I wanted this thing long time ago> finaly I got it!

Pros: Very good reception !
Small software, really 'portable'
Easy to use software, put into startup folder and sometimes it starts playing, sometimes need mute no-mute to work
Cons: Antenna can't pull outside, seens can broke so left there, about 2~3mm outside as came out of box (but works!)
annoying led blinking all the time, so its better hide from view or you can became drowzy hehe !
really, can have some MB storage space for their software, its just plug n play!
Other Thoughts: Left at workdesk, no more online radios eating connection band, no more stops whenever, really needs to be cheap, but just can't find something like that anywhere else . . .
Bottomline: go buy it, ifs that what you need !
Good product

Pros: The software is very simple to use. I just created a shortcut from the folder.
Reception is decent. if you're away from a window you can expect that only the 'strong' signals will work.
Cons: The antenna... Who wants to start taking apart something as soon as they buy it. No choice though... the antenna is coiled inside.
My antenna was blue which I did not mind.
Other Thoughts: Software interface could be better.
Perhaps some detailed 'how it works' but this is typical of DX products.
Bottomline: Good price, I use it every day at the office.
Works well with few glitches.
Good reception

Pros: -The reception is pretty good at least here in Sao Paulo.
-The interface is pretty simple and easy to use. You just need to copy some files.
-Very good size (small)
Cons: -Could have some space for storage so it would be a real plug-and-play, but who doens´t carry a flashdrive nowadays?
Other Thoughts: Well, since now a lot of cellphones comes with radio reception, it is not that useful as it was, but if you want to record a radio that is for sure the best way to do it. It is pretty small, but I don´t carry around, I keep it in my desk (at work).
Bottomline: Well, it was worth it.
