When the transistor radio first came out, everyone who used one was amazed at how a (todays mobile phone sized) radio could compete with a large valve set for listening.
There were plusses and minuses as I remember. The speaker was a 1.5 inch diameter squeaking wonder (not comparing it with anything , as there was nothing to compare it with then), but improved with earphones. (also in their infancy) Volume and Tuning was done with little plastic wheels (potentiometers) set in the side and you had to have a steady finger to find the station. No Am or Fm in those days. But over a few years different manufacturers improved everything about it.
I suppose the Lytro could go the same way.
