I can vouch for the remark made but I can give you more details too: I use smartphones, tablets and laptops to listen to internet radio all the time and I've only had one device that suffered because of that. What happened to that particular device is the WiFi quit working and it doesn't even work after a factory reset. But out of all the other devices I've used they haven't demonstrated any problems at all. Rocky
