The little cube shown to you here is known as the Iona Cube, which is actually a compact cube packed with Internet radio function. The Iona Cube is equipped with WiFi connectivity which lets you hook up to any WiFi network to receive Internet radio. The gadget is a concept design of Cambridge consultants, which the intention is to clam the Internet radio function into a simple little cube with low-cost design. And it allows users to access up to 10,000 Internet radio stations.
Operating the radio such as switching programme channels is easy, which you just have turn the Iona Cube onto one of its four sides to change to the pre-programed radio station. The fifth side is where the speaker is mounted and the sixth side is for you to turn on or off this radio cube.
The Iona Cube gives the complete different experience from operating traditional radios which mostly deal with “push buttons”. This cube definitely simplifies the way that users select Internet radio stations. And the cube also allows customization via its web interface. The cube definitely eliminates the hassle as seen in traditional Internet radio which users have to scroll endless list of stations. So, using this cube, they’ll just simply flip it. The entire design of this radio cube is focused on the simplicity, so it ain’t even come with a volume button. But no worry, you’ll still be able to adjust its volume by twisting the cube to the right to increase the volume. And twisting to the left to decrease it.
