    Looks like it could be a "Huge Success"

    I seen this before, only it was white, and could only pick up catchy Salsa music, and funny transmissions that were either Morse code or slow-scan TV transmissions.

    But seriously, ever since Portal came out this shape seems to have become a rather popular design, which is not surprising considering how far out of left field the game was and became such a hit.

    Specs

    2*18W

    RMS, Total Music Power, Peak Music Power, or what ?

    Do please be a little clearer.

    Is the USB port for updates or wired networking or both ?

    Or is it that there is both an A, and a B (micro) port ?

    Well at 200 squids I guess it'll catch the hard of thinking (of which there seem to be plenty) but it seems to fall into the category of 'do everything, but do each of them badly.'

    P.S.

    18W into a 3.5in speaker? Yerr. Right!

    The Lounge web site

    I noticed you were on new.thelounge.com instead of www.thelounge.com, what a vast improvement. About time too, the old one was/is basically unuseable.

    Poxy pixel displays turn me off

    Pure don't seem to have moved on at all in the last 5 years on the user interface front. A couple of lines of scrolling text are completely inadequate for searching out and selecting an internet source. So you're locked into their proprietary web interface and they track you everywhere you go.

    Come on, manufacturers, where are all the neat touch-sensitive colour LCD & OLED displays? You know you can do it.

    DAB+?

    FM / Internet radio - fine; but DAB+?

    Is this PURE's attempt to push the UK government into adopting a half-way sensible digital system?

    £200? That'll get the DAB listeners migrating over from analogue in their

    dozens, maybe.

    Or maybe not even dozens.

    Then again... iPod dock... maybe they're on to something.
