Yup I've got one..  $7 from ebay a while ago.

ITs so wireless it gets a bit surreal.

USB cable fits into a box that plugs into your pc - You then plug the
pc's
audio out into that box.  No other controls on that box, it seems to
be a
transmitter/receiver for the audio.

Then,,,
You get a small blue box a bit like an x10 keyfob, which takes two aaa
(IIRC) and you plug headphones, or a 3.5mm - phono connector into it
and
that plugs into your amp.

Then, theres a larger box with that electronic dial on, which is
freestanding.  When you turn that box on, a applet opens on your pc
that
looks exactly the same, and you can tune around the preset internet
radio
stations (via the pc applet - or the external device) to sellect your
channel.

In all its very clever - but as usual I couldnt find a use for it...
