Revo's Blik RadioStation gets iPod dock, becomes iBlik RadioStation

Apparently looking to give Bose a run for its money when it comes to long overdue product upgrades, Revo has now finally seen fit to gift its Blik RadioStation with an iPod dock, a move that follows its similarly risky forays into the rarely explored fields of WiFi and DAB radio. Apart from that welcome addition, however, this newly-dubbed iBlik RadioStation looks to be identical to its most recent predecessor, with it packing the same WiFi and DAB as before and, of course, the same love-it-or-hate-it styling. If that's a bit too much for you to handle, Revo has also kindly introduced the DAB-less iBlik WiFi, which will set you back £130 (or about $260), as opposed to the £180 (or $360) the full blown iBlik RadioStation will run you. Look for both of 'em to hit Europe next month.

Looks like they borrowed their design from Western Digital.

maybe its just me but doesn't iBlik sound stupid

[GatgetMan @ Jul 26th 2008 12:30AM]

It was originally iSpik but that got shot down....

[GatgetMan @ Jul 26th 2008 12:28AM]

And you just happened to "stumble" upon that video while you were browsing yourtube...

Did you set the filter to "Least Watched"


2 tips for you:

1. If you really need friend that badly, don't try to get them by posting here
2. If you really want to keep friends, erase that gay ass video of yourself.
3. There is not three, because I said two

The thing looks like a friggin satelite. Could they have made it bigger?

[nxtiak @ Jul 26th 2008 2:09AM]

Looks like the Slingbox

[Jim Nichols @ Jul 26th 2008 12:05PM]

At 1st glance I thought it was Slingbox too.

[waiownsyou @ Jul 26th 2008 2:30AM]

Please, die in a fire.

[BigDavey @ Jul 26th 2008 2:32AM]

nice

[Marky @ Jul 26th 2008 2:36AM]

DAB and DAB+ !!
The BOSE one doesn't do that!

Excellent news. Shall be popping over to John Lewis to take a look at this little beauty soon.

What does the holes on the top indicate in morse code. (some company had something exactly like that and it indicated some words in morse code)

[Josh L @ Jul 26th 2008 10:31AM]

Probably nothing. The holes are not uniformly two sizes.

[lanejasper69 @ Jul 26th 2008 11:23AM]

I don't think Morse code is there. I think Morse code only has dots and dashes, notice there are some medium sized dashes...are there 3 "dots/slashes in morse code??? Just curious.

iBlik....sounds like iBrick in "Engrish"

[iHoppipolla @ Jul 28th 2008 8:11AM]

"blick" in German (note the "c" that is not a part of the Blik product name) means "view".

is the origin in the phonetic?

[neofolklore @ Jul 28th 2008 8:32AM]

I like how the actual ipod article today gets like no attention while all the other nonipod articles get a ton of ipod comments

[Bruce Metelerkamp @ Oct 31st 2008 11:30PM]

blik is "tin" in Afrikaans (and probably other similar languages) - so sounds a bit tinny??
No-one has mentioned the quality of the sound - or does one push it into an amp?
And as for the size and shape - it's meant to sit nicely on the bedside (as it's a clock radio replacement) - so you don't want a tiny thing falling about or off the table when you whack the sleep button!?!?!
