Macworld reviews the Pure Evoke Flow saying “if you understand the Evoke Flow’s limitations and embrace its primary purpose—a fairly flexible radio as at home at the beach as it is in the kitchen—it may be for you.” That doesn’t sound like unconditional thumbs up to us so it’s worth digging deeper into the review.

Pure announces Contour iPod Dock with internet radio

Pure has unveiled a new iPod dock at CES 2011 which comes with the now ubiquitous DAB+ and internet radio capability.
