Sensia DAB and Wi-Fi Radio Delivers Big Touchscreen, Twitter and Facebook Apps

Sean Fallon — Mon, 21 Sep 2009 15:20:00 EDT

Taking cues from devices like the Chumby, Squeezebox and HP's DreamScreen, Pure is throwing a kitchen sink full of features into their new Sensia radio—including Wi-Fi, DAB and FM support, a 5.7-inch touchscreen and plenty of popular widgets.

Other features include: two full-range 3" drive units, an optional rechargeable battery, RF remote and a 3.5mm input for hooking up additional audio sources. Widgets like Facebook, Twitter, Picasa, weather and news are available now, but the lineup should grow over time. Plus it kind of looks like something the Jetsons would have. The Sensia will be available in Europe for the equivalent of $406, but there is no word on when or if it will ever be available in the States. [Sensia via Slashgear]

DAB Kitchen Digital Radio Should Withstand the Ultimate Food Fight

Andi Wang — Fri, 27 Feb 2009 21:30:13 EST

Designed with greasy hands, soapy gloves, and cookie-dough-covered fingers in mind, the minimalistic DAB Digital Radio was created for a nitty, gritty kitchen environment.

With a splash-resistant design featuring large touch-sensitive buttons, users can power on ths battery-operated radio, turn up the volume and control this gadget using their elbows and knuckles. Users also don't have to worry about knocking it over with their clumsy appendages because this device is fitted with a rubberized weighted base. Other specs include a click-back preset adjuster and a vertical-scrolling LCD. Sounds pretty neat, but as it is still a concept, there's no word on when you'll be able to get your slimy hands on one of these. [Yanko]

Blik RadioStation: DAB, Wi-Fi, and FM Radio All-in-One

Sean Fallon — Wed, 12 Dec 2007 19:00:41 EST

Revo, the company behind the Blik RadioStation claims that their new device is the first to combine DAB functionality, Wi-Fi internet radio and traditional FM radio in a single unit. It also offers a digital alarm clock function and the option to play your iPod tunes through the speaker. Apparently, the internet radio alone will provide access to over 9,000 channels, so if you get DAB signals it may be of some interest. Not sure about the look though —It reminds me of something. Available for £149.95 ($305) starting on December 19th. [Revo via Pocket-Lint via Techdigest]

Bush DAB Indicates Touchscreens Coming to Everything Soon

Haroon Malik — Mon, 01 Oct 2007 08:29:06 EDT

The Bush TR04DABBLK is a retro-looking, piano black DAB, with touchscreen controls. The device has a two-line display showing useful information, including artist and station; onboard memory will store a pathetic 10 DAB and 10 FM stations.

The vintage styled DAB marks the first device by Bush that incorporates touchscreen controls, and is surely indicative that touchscreens are soon to be on everything, including upon other touchscreens. Bush will begin shipping the product in Europe by July 2008, at a cost of £45 ($91.82). Stateside release details are not available as of yet. [PR via Shiny Shiny]

Intempo Digital PP01 FM and DAB Radio

Charlie White — Fri, 29 Sep 2006 12:56:34 EDT

Don't be fooled by this great-looking device—it's not a video player with a screen that stretches all the way across its front as it first appears to be. No, the Intempo Digital PP01 is a digital radio with a "customizable front," where you can exchange the included designs with those of your own, or even photos as you see here.

It receives DAB (digital audio broadcast) radio, that format that's pretty much everywhere but the US, and for us unfortunate yanks, it's also capable of receiving old-timey FM casts. Its flat-panel speakers are powered by a 2 x 2-watt internal amp, or plug in your 3.5mm headphone jack to keep things to yourself. Available now, but only worth it for those who can enjoy DAB, for 89.99 ($170). – Charlie White

Genus Type-R Vintage DAB Radio

Travis Hudson — Wed, 09 Aug 2006 12:36:46 EDT

I'll admit it, I'm a sucker for vintage. I put wood paneling on everything I own to give it that classic 1970s and 1980s look. That is why this Type-R DAB radio is tickling me pink. Even though DAB is non-existent here in the states, it is still a pretty radio. It is an average DAB radio, but the outside has classic anodized aluminum and walnut wood-panel ends. The red backlit panel and carrying handle/stand is the cherry on top of this melted retro sundae. It should be available later this fall—over the pond—for 150 or approximately 268 U.S. buckaroos. – Travis Hudson

DAB Radio Cuteness

Travis Hudson — Mon, 28 Nov 2005 07:21:18 EST

This is the Cath Kidston limited-edition Roberts Revival DAB radio for John Lewis. What all these fancy names mean, I don t have the slightest clue, but this DAB radio is pretty sweet and looks unique, too. It features the latest PausePlus that allows live radio to be paused for up to 40 minutes while you chat over some tea and crumpets. The recorded radio content can also be rewound to find the names of previous songs played. Fashionable technology is pretty costly, though—expect to pay upwards of $344 for this.

Bang & Olufsen CD | DAB | SD

tgrumet — Thu, 03 Nov 2005 10:08:11 EST

Another Bang & Olufsen audio system that is, per usual, extremely stylish and easy to look at. The Beo4 is a CD player, FM radio and has an SD slot. If you'd like DAB radio, you can get it factory fitted as an option. B&O says this is the first audio system of its kind to be able to record music from a radio or CD to the SD without a computer (though I think there's a MD player somewhere that can do it). You'll need to supply equally stylish speakers (might they suggest the BeoSound 3 speakers?) and it comes with a floor, table and wall stand. The coolest feature is the front glass door, which opens when you wave a hand in front of it to show the operation panel and CD loader. You can pick this baby up in December for a mere $2,750.
