Internet Radio
I have an old android tablet. Archos 70 Internet tablet.
Few days ago I pulled out it from a cupboard. I had intent to sell it for a penny. But I’ve decided to play with it, in last time.
A long time I have a desire to waking up not from an alarm, but from a radio. As I have an iPad, I’ve tried to install TuneIn on it, and configure an alarm for morning hours. But unfortunately, due to iOS limitation I must to leave it turned on for a whole night. It didn’t suit to me. Because, it is wasting of electricity and light from a screen could be a disturb me at night. So, I’ve declined this idea and decided to buy some cheap a Wi-Fi radio.
When it has been fully charged(Archos), I’ve decided to install TuneIn on it. Here I stumbled upon with a problem. The tablet hadn’t had an app market. At all. Luckily, I’ve found few APK files on it(thank to me from the past), and one of them was AppBrain. 3-th party appstore for android. After I installed it, without any issues I installed TuneIn.
Android doesn’t have such OS limitations as iOS has, so at last I have my morning radio!
