Virtuality

Sophon bought me an original 1960’s Roberts Radio Ltd R707, a beautiful transistor-based broadcast radio reciever, it’s a real thing of beauty. I just powered it up for the first time, and it sounds excellent!

I’d love to add some exciting hi-technology into the radio, but there are so many posibilities! I can think of several combinations of technologies! For example, the ability to recieve streaming media when in range of an 802.11b access point would be an excellent idea. A bluetooth transciever on-board could enable the radio to present itself as a set of bluetooth headphones, and play audio from the bluetooth device.

I’m not sure that the available bandwidth over a bluetooth link would enable good quality audio throughput.. well, certainly research is required.
