Revo Pico+ supports both DAB and FM reception

If you're considering buying a DAB (Digital Audio Broadcasting) radio, then you might be interested in this. The Revo Pico+ is more (as the + suggests) than a DAB and FM radio. It also doubles as an iPod docking solution. I'm sure that exceeds your wildest iPod docking ?solutions?. It's new stuff all right, but it's not cooler than Cal Spas' fireplace that comes with a built-in iPod and iPod speakers.

Care for some ?wireless? speakers? No problemo, it comes with an internal rechargeable battery that lasts for up to eight hours.

If you get low on power, there's even an in-car charging cord supplied to help you out. And here's another surprise. The charging cord is waterproof so you will probably feel safer during a storm (or an electric storm). It also comes with a main adapter for simply plugging it into the wall at home or at the office.

The Revo Pico+ has a TimeShift feature which gives you the possibility to pause, rewind and record live radio. Isn't that cute? You can also pop a SD card in so you can download music files from your MP3 player. Et Voila, your own mini size jukebox! The device measures 167 mm x 105 mm x 105 mm. I'm guessing it's not that light, so, unless you want to use it as a self-defense tool, better keep this black brick indoors. The device also features a remote control that lets you practice the on/off, pause, play and record commands until your fingers will sore. If you want it, you can pick one up from John Lewis for 129, 95 pounds (about 256 $).
