Looking like the kind of thing lantern-jawed explorers would pack before embarking on trips of great derring-do in the wilderness-is Etón’s extra chunky Raptor outdoor adventure radio.
DAB radio dons Pure have slammed down the fifth member of the One family, christened it the Pure One Flow, and promised hot web connectivity at a fairly modest price.
With the festival season coming up fast, wind-up merchants Eton are hoping that their self powered Eton FR360 Solarlink radio will prove just the thing for the cider-addled masses.
Claimed to be a “state-of-the art multi-tasking solar-powered & wind-up AM/FM/shortwave radio with torch, siren and mobile phone charger,” there’s certainly no shortage of gizmos onboard.
Lucky Americans can already cruise down freeways belting out tunes via Belkin’s new TuneCast Auto Live FM transmitter, but for us Brits, we’ll have to be twiddling our iThumbs until March, 2010.
The device is designed to let car drivers listen to songs stored on their iPhone through their car stereo.
The BBC has announced that it’s slapped backs and high five’d the folks at Stitcher.com to cut a deal to make the content of its World Service available to users of the mobile phone-based application.
The BBC World Service said that the corporation will “provide a selection of English language podcasts, with programming such as Global News, Digital Planet, Global Arts & Entertainment and Africa Today.”
PURE – who proudly bill themselves as the world’s leading radio maker – have whisked out the Élan II portable DAB radio in time for the Christmas rush.
Priced at a penny under a ton, the Élan II boasts DAB/ DAB+* and a FM radio with the fantastic ReVu technology letting you pause and rewind live DAB radio.
Frustrated with trying to navigate the screechy old-school tuning dial on our antique bedroom analogue clock radio, we thought we’d splash out and move into the DAB age with the PURE Digital Siesta.
Served up in a curved triangular form factor, the Siesta offers a full range of alarms, plus DAB and FM RDS radios.
Pure hope that the radio will help you sleep a little bit sounder knowing that you’re doing your little bit for the planet with the Siesta burning up just 1W power consumption when in standby – ten times less than the average energy guzzling portable.
The radio’s packaging is also pleasingly minimal, with much use of good ol’ cardboard.
Seemingly created from a design brief that went along the lines of, “make a radio and shove every new technology you can find at it… and then make it look like it’s escaped from the set of 2001,” Pure’s sensational new Sensia radio packs a large touchscreen, Wi-Fi radio and a whole lot more besides.
Packed in a, err, retro-futuristic curved case, the Sensia is a DAB, FM and streaming Wi-Fi radio, with two internal 3″ drive units delivering 15 RMS per channel (30W RMS total).
