RadioCube: Internet Radio in a simple way
The RadioCube looks like one of those gadgets with a cool design that are presented but are never launched. But, this time it is different because we will be able to buy it. At least, its launching will be announced soon, during the CES 2008 (January 7-10, Las Vegas, USA).
But, first of all, I am going to explain what it is. The RadioCube is an Internet radio receiver, and it uses Wi-Fi to connect online. The strange thing is, it doesn’t have any button, because it uses an alternative control method.
Its designers say that although there are thousands of available radio stations, at the end of the day we always end up listening the same ones, and for that reason, RadioCube only allows four different radio stations. If we need to select one of them, then we have to place the gadget on the corresponding side, by rotating the cube.
Also, to turn off the radio, we will place it on the corresponding side for this function, while the sixth face is where the speaker is located. The volume is controlled without buttons, too: we have to incline the receiver laterally to make the volume louder or lower.
