Logitech officially unveils the Squeezebox Radio and Squeezebox Touch

Logitech has just unveiled two new Wi-Fi equipped music players — the Squeezebox Radio and the Squeezebox Touch. As for features, both models have built-in Wi-Fi which will allow you to set up your radio without having to worry about a wired connection being available and has integration with sites such as Facebook for music recommendations as well as Flickr for viewing photo slideshows.

The Squeezebox Radio is the smaller of the two units and is designed to be more portable. It has a 2.4-inch display and measures in at 5.12 x 8.66 x 5.04-inches. It also features a built-in set of speakers and a 3.5mm headphone jack making it a truly stand-alone unit. The Squeezebox Touch is the fancier of the two units and as you would assume by the name, it features a touchscreen display which is 4.3-inches. The Touch also has a USB port and SD card slot that can be used to store, play or view music or photos.

As far as available content, that is pretty much wide open thanks to the Wi-Fi and you will be able to enjoy music from sites such as Pandora, Napster, Rhapsody as well as DRM-free iTunes downloads and more.

As far as pricing, the Squeezebox Radio and the Squeezebox Touch will retail for $199.99 and $299.99 respectively. In terms of availability, the Squeezebox Radio will hit the retail market in September with the Squeezebox Touch following a little later in December. Additionally, there will also be an accessory pack that will be available in November and retail for $49.99.
