Linux is embedding itself in lots of places, and I was surprised to hear that includes a Pure digital radio, the Pure EVOKE Flow to be precise.
On reflection I shouldn't have been that surprised, as it is actually a fully-fledged Internet radio...
Apparently, it has won the 'Radio Product of the Year 2008' award in the Annual Awards from What Hi-Fi? Sound and Vision, and 11 other awards since it was launched 3 months ago.
A press release from Imagination Technologies highlights that the licensable Connected Audio Platform underpins Pure's 'connected' radio.
According to Imagination, the Connected Audio Platform is based on the GStreamer multimedia framework running on the Linux operating system, which has been adapted by the company to facilitate the delivery of audio from various sources.

When combined with ENSIGMA UCC technology, it says, digital or analogue radio can also be added to the mix - as seen in the EVOKE Flow. The META Advanced Audio Framework (AAF) provides a range of audio codecs and post-processing effects.
"This revolutionary platform is set to enable a new class of connected products that deliver a world of digital content to the user: one touch and it's there!" says Imagination's VP of marketing, Tony King-Smith.
