  Sangean America, which launched its first one-piece tabletop Internet radio last November at a $279 street price, plans in two to three months to ship a next-generation model and its first component Internet tuner.
  Compared to the current $279 WFR-20 table radio, the new WFR-1, at an expected $349 street price, will add FM tuner with Radio Data System (RDS) display of analog-FM station metadata, boost speaker size to 3 inches from 2.5 inches, and offer improved station-search capabilities. The radio will sync up with the vTuner Internet-radio database, enabling consumers to not only search for Internet and broadcast stations by country but also by U.S. state, and then by genre within a state, said sales and marketing manager Clayton Scott.
  In another change, the new model&apos;s cabinet will be in gloss mahogany instead of black. Both models, however, feature wood cabinets.
  Like its predecessor, the WFR-1 streams Internet radio stations via a wireless 802.11b/g or wired Ethernet connection to a broadband modem. Also like its predecessor, it connects wirelessly to a networked PC to stream PC-stored music and features Microsoft UPnP (Universal Plug and Play) for a simplified connection to UPnP PCs. Both models also feature limited alarm functions, but they&apos;re not intended as a bedroom&apos;s primary alarm clock. Both also come with remotes.
  The company&apos;s first component-style Internet tuner, the WFT-1 at a tentative $349 street price, also features 802.11 b/g and wired Ethernet to stream from the Internet or from a PC. The feature set hasn&apos;t been finalized, but an FM tuner, digital audio output and on-TV display are under consideration.
  Two of the Internet&apos;s largest comparison shopping sites, Shopzilla.com and Shopping.com, are being acquired by the E.W. Scripps Co. and eBay, respectively. The deals, which were announced within days of each other earlier this month, are expected to close in the third quarter.
  Scripps, the multimedia powerhouse, will pay $525 million in cash for Shopzilla and its popular BizRate consumer review service.
  Similarly, eBay will pay approximately $620 million in cash for Shopping.com and its consumer ratings site Epinions.
  Both Web businesses allow shoppers to locate virtually any product for sale online at the lowest price, and provide consumer ratings of merchandise and the e-tailers that sell them.
  Privately-held Shopzilla was founded in 1996 as BizRate.com and was re-branded in 2004. The Los Angeles-based business compiles and organizes over 30 million products from more than 55,000 stores, while BizRate provides about 1 million new reviews of merchants and merchandise each month.
  Shopzilla will become a freestanding operating unit of Scripps and will retain its senior management team, including CEO Chuck Davis and co-founders Farhad Mohit and Henri Asseily.
  Shopping.com was spawned in 2003 by the merger of DealTime, a pioneer shopping search engine, and Epinions, a consumer reviews site. Like Shopzilla, Shopping.com gathers product and merchant data from across the Internet, and structures it into a comprehensive catalog featuring millions of products from thousands of stores. It also offers nearly 2 million product reviews contributed by some 400,000 consumers. The site is the third-largest shopping destination on the Web behind eBay and Amazon.com, according to Web-tracking service comScore Media Metrix.
