DAB radio dons Pure have slammed down the fifth member of the One family, christened it the Pure One Flow, and promised hot web connectivity at a fairly modest price.
Yours, all yours for just a penny under a hundred quid, the Pure Flow One has thrust its eager talons into internet radio connectivity, letting you gorge yourself on internet radio stations, podcasts, BBC Listen Again and more,
There’s also DAB and FM radio onboard for old school listening and Pure sweeten the pie further with their own bespoke web-enabled features like the Lounge – which helps you save your favourite internet stations and podcasts – and FlowSongs.
Veritably moistening with each word, Pure extolled the virtues of their new device:
With its luxurious, black satin-touch finish, satin-chrome dials and considerably enhanced audio performance, One Flow looks and sounds fantastic – and its intuitive interface including a new home button for easy navigation to the source menu makes it extremely easy to use.
The radio also offers two alarms, a sleep timer and kitchen timer, an aux-in connector for hooking up an iPod or MP3 player and headphone socket and you can also slam in an optional PURE ChargePAK E1 rechargeable battery pack for “complete go-anywhere listening,” whatever that means.
Here’s Colin Crawford, Pure’s director of marketing, to add some more froth:
One Flow achieves a new price in premium digital and internet radio, but it does so without compromise. So you get all the benefits of broadcast digital radio, plus new on-line content and you even get access to our revolutionary FlowSongs service to buy music direct from your radio. One Flow really will deliver internet-connected digital radio for everyone.
