The Book Radio
We don't see a lot of innovations these days for the old FM dial, but The Book Radio by Vinay Venkatraman and Pei Yu is taking stereo entertainment old school. All the controls for the radio are based on basic book reading motions, so turning the page changes the frequency, and you can change the volume by sliding the bookmark in or out. You can of course annotate different stations by merely writing on that frequency's page, since it's just a book after all. The Book Radio wirelessly controls a base station with speakers, or you can kick it with headphones if that's how you'd prefer. Us? We're going to stick with The Book TV, which involves us placing a book on our lap in good faith and then vegging out to May sweeps.
