Revo's new PICO hybrid radio pairs DAB and WiFi with great success
DAB... DAB... that's that digital radio thing, right? But it's not from a satellite, huh? Well, whatever. Revo's new PICO hybrid radio packs some internet radio over WiFi, so you don't have to move to some crummy country like the UK just to listen to predictably-programmed 80's music and cloying chatter. Revo's little unit is portable, gets 12 hours to a charge, and works with DAB, DAB+, FM and WiFi. It'll be available in September for £169.95 (about $3,180,000 USD).























Come On Paul Miller! None of that. Our "crummy country" just happens to be home to quite a lot of people. Despite the badly out of date stereotype of the laid back brits who are too polite to complain about anything, we are not all like that and some of us might take a little bit of offense when some yank starts insulting our country.
There was no need for a comment like that. Get with the Banter y'ken! Long Live Scotland.
you should use this converter next time: http://www.google.co.uk/ig/directory?q=currency&hl=en&root=%2Fig&dpos=top&url=www.pixelmedia.nl/gmodules/ucc.xml
Actually I'm not sure what my fellow Brits are complaining about, saying the UK is crummy is actually being kind. This place these days is a shivhole!
Although we do have some quality radio stations on DAB,the criticisms on programming were obviously directed towards internet radio.
If you don't like it F Off! I'm sure we won't miss you.
UK Radio is awesome, we get everything covered by the BBC, and if commercial stations want us to sit through their ads then they've got to up there game to something much better than the BBC.
Fish n Chips (and mushy peas) for the win!
Engadget, I find your constant stream of jokes regarding the current state of the U.S. economy to be both shallow and pedantic.
UK? Crummy? Awwww... jealousy will get you now where.. I mean come on.. We are far advance when it comes to Mobile network, and our DAB, that's digital radios to guys from other side of the pond, I mean you guys are still listening to FM quality, while we enjoy perfect digital broadcast here with hundred of stations.. It'll catch on other side of the pond too, like 3G networks in Mobile, give it another six or so years... Hehheee..
They guy is a total moron. The funny thing is, the whole world thinks his country is a total joke, full of morons that voted a total moron of a president in for a second term.
You can report the idiot here: http://www.weblogsinc.com/report/
Engadget: You've been told before about DAB and some of the radio damned good stations it offers. Hell, you can check this out from you desk by listening in over tinternet- though yeah, BBC lose some points here for steaming at a lower bit rate than some other stations. But seriously, if you don't like the music on 6 Music, you shouldn't be allowed to own any audio kit at all, let alone review it.
Maybe you can tell us why DAB radio receivers are still highly priced after ten years, when we're so used to the price of every other gadget halving every eighteen months? Surely they should be nearly as cheap as FM sets by now? How much can an extra bloody DAC be when there is one in every cheap discman/budget mp3 player?
Those must be zimbabwe dollars, oh wait then it should be some quadrillion dollars!!!
Paul Miller - You utter idiotic prick. Think before you type eh?
Have a nice day. Your welcome.
Jesus... on one hand, we have people apparently unable to detect sarcasm in "£169.95 (about $3,180,000 USD)". On the other, a gaggle of my countrymen... well, apparently, boys... throwing hairdresser hissy fits at the suggestion that the UK is "crummy". Not exactly the spirit that brought us through the Blitz, is it, children? FFS...
Paul Miller, I would like to apologise on behalf of my country and my species.
