Low-cost Wi-Fi Radio “Cube” at CES

January 4th, 2008 by Kristofer

-This thing looks like a ‘weighted companion cube’ don’t it?

The Iona Cube is a fun new concept in low-cost Wi-Fi-enabled Internet radio.

In a departure from the traditional push button user interface, Cambridge Consultants’ intuitive new design allows the listener to personalize the Cube to play just their favorite radio stations or podcasts. By simply turning the Cube onto one its four sides, it will change to the desired radio station. The fifth side contains the speaker and the sixth side switches the radio on or off.

Based on Cambridge Consultants’ Iona low-cost platform technology (electronic bill of materials cost less than $15), the Cube uses a Wi-Fi connection to provide a choice of up to 10,000 stations from which listeners can customize the four sides.
