Pure has announced an Internet
radio that runs embedded Linux and provides FM and DAB (Digital Audio
Broadcasting) playback. The Evoke Flow radio offers WiFi connectivity
and media streaming from a connected PC, and is paired with a Internet
search portal called the Pure Lounge.
造型趋向简单:
Compare to the its earlier radio,The Evoke Flow have fewer buttons. The DAB format is said to be the leading digital audio broadcast format in the UK, and is now spreading throughout Europe.
Users interact with the simple, retro-styled radio via an OLED display
with four buttons underneath, as well as two dials for volume and
station selection.
功能人性化:
A search engine helps locate stations and podcasts, providing search by any combination of station name, genre, location, language, and audio quality. Listeners
can also set up favorites lists and schedules, and with supporting
radio broadcasts, can "listen again" to programs that were missed, says Pure. As
an alternative to using the buttons, users can log onto the Pure Lounge
site from their desktop web browsers. In addition to offering search
and organization features, the Pure Lounge supplies its own library of
over 100 mood and background tracks including seagulls, the human
heartbeat, and thunderstorms.
技术倾向:
The underlying
architecture provides "a two-way flow of information between the radio,
the web portal, and the broadcaster," says Pure. The company plans to enable future interactive services including listener feedback, voting, music download, and tagging, it says.

Evoke Flow should be available by the end of September for 150 British Pounds ($275 US), says Pure.
