Revo intros FM, DAB, Internet radio, iPod dock

UK-based Revo Technologies recently announced it will launch the first product to combine Digital Audio Broadcasting (DAB), Internet and FM radio reception, along with iPod docking capabilities. The iBLIK RadioStation also supports Wi-Fi Internet radio, RDS text data for FM stations and MP3 media streaming capability from Mac or PC computers. The unit also has a built-in alarm clock.

The DAB/DAB+ tuner allows users to find one of the 11,000 supported worldwide stations by name, and delivers interference-free digital audio signals complete with scrolling text information. The iBLIK RadioStation is certified for compatibility with Apple's iPod, and will charge and allow control over dockable iPods' contents via the unit's buttons or the included remote control. An included M-Port cable allows MP3 players to connect to the iBLIK.

The alarm clock options include four separate settings, allowing users to wake up to any source apart from a docked iPod, or a traditional buzzer. A customizable Sleep setting is also included.

The iBLIK RadioStation will be available on the UK market starting on August 18, priced at £180 (about $360) via Apple stores and online, as well as on Revo's web store. [
