Wall Street Journal tech guru Walt Mossberg has posted his review of the radioShark from Griffin Technology. “Overall, we found the radioShark to be a good idea, but it lacks some of TiVo’s smart features,” Mossberg writes. “Because it doesn’t have program schedules like TiVo does, you can’t look through a list of upcoming radio shows to learn what will be on when, what specific song will be played, or which talk-radio topic will be discussed. Also, radioShark can’t determine where a song or program ends and another begins… And nothing in radioShark’s software automatically labels a song with title and artist information; you must enter that data yourself… If radioShark were smarter, it could be a sensation. For now, though, it’s more of a curiosity, or a tool for radio enthusiasts with a good sense of station schedules and time to invest.”
