PURE – the UK’s leading radio manufacturer –announced today the first truly connected radio, EVOKE Flow and its radio and media portal, the PURE Lounge (www.thelounge.com). EVOKE Flow combines DAB digital radio with Wi-Fi technology and FM to embrace many different ways of listening to audio including Internet radio stations, DAB digital radio, FM, podcasts, listen again content and media streaming from local PCs or network storage. EVOKE Flow provides a two-way flow of information between the radio, the web portal and the broadcaster. This enables new and varied features involving listener interactivity which will include feedback, voting and advanced services such as music download and tagging.

As a truly connected radio with an intuitive user interface, EVOKE Flow offers a powerful on-line search engine to easily and quickly find the required station and content without relying on a PC. EVOKE Flow will be available from September 2008 for approximately £150 ($276).
