I have been using this radio now for about a week. Here is a quick overview:
Pros:
Quite easy to use. Within a couple of minutes, I had the unit connected to my network and I listened to an Auckland, New Zealand Station, Falkland Islands Radio and on over the air (on FM), WNYC (the NYC NPR station) - among a lot more.
Portable. The radio is light in terms of poundage, but has a solid feel. Its rechargeable battery means I can effortlessly move the unit from the kitchen to another room.
Small footprint. I live in Manhattan...space is always an issue!
Sound quality. There is no tininess. There is no problem listening to this unit for an extended period.
Splash proof. A huge plus. I use the unit in the Kitchen and near the bathtub while giving the kids a bath without worry.
Reminiscent of the Tivoli radio. It nicely compliments my weather resistant Tivoli radio.
Cons:
The radio is way over priced. I purchased it only because it was the only unit that I could find that has a rechargeable battery and is splash proof. However, I think that it should be priced at least about [..]cheaper than it is at Amazon (I picked mine up for about [..] less than Amazon's price at a major NYC electronics retailer).
The battery does not last as along as advertised. However, the jury is still out about this as, 1) I am still in the priming stage as described in the instruction manual and 2) I have been doing a LOT of station jumping.
There are not enough presets. There are 5 presets for FM and 5 for WiFi stations, and they are only accessible from the remote. However, setting up "My Stations" on Reciva has made accessing my favorite stations relatively easy.
Despite its high price tag, I have no regrets so far about this purchase.

Got one for Christmas and while I was able to set it up, it was constantly buffering. Having a second wifi, the Sangean WFT-1, I compared them using the same channel. The Sangean blew it away; never buffered on re-loaded once. While a bit qwirky at times, the Sangean WFT-1 is far more stable and reliable. I hope Sangean comes out with a portable. It did have great sound for a small box but it was pretty heavy, barely portable.

After reading the reviews here, I was a little worried about purchasing the Revo Pico. But I wanted the portability, and after several years with an excellent WiFi radio, the Acoustic Energy (AE), I took the plunge when an open box item was available from Amazon Warehouse Deals at over $100 less than list. I figured I could always return it if was DOA or whatever, but much to my surprise, this little radio sounds better than expected and works flawlessly in battery mode or plugged in. It is no more difficult to use than the AE, and it actually sounds better! The Revo Pico also has several nice features that the AE doesn't, like a remote control (works fine), and an iPod/MP3 player input. I am not sure if I just got lucky, but I really like this WiFi radio. I would have given it five stars, but I do agree that the full retail price of $350 is a bit much. However, this radio exceeded my expectations and does not have any of the problems listed by the other reviewers. So, bring down the price, Revo, and you might sell more of these great WiFi portables!

I have a Roku Soundbridge Radio and have been delighted with it. I needed a similar, but smaller WiFi radio, and the Revo Pico WiFi looked like just the thing. However, it took three tries to find one that worked reasonably well. The first had a defective display (missing pixels) and the second just flashed the display and made a popping sound. I have one that works now, but the user interface is very difficult compared with the Roku. In addition, every time you turn it on, there is an extended time before it connects to the WiFi network, and sometimes it doesn't connect until the power is recycled. The network signal strength does not seem to matter. The bottom line is the quality control seems unreliable and the product has a number of warts, but it sort of works if you find a good one. If the Soundbridge radio or its equivalent were also available in a smaller version, I would get one immediately. But for the moment, I'm tired of experimenting with these kind of radios.
