Asus Gives Radio Listeners A Green Choice

By Branko Miletic | Friday | 04/07/2008

With the support of more than 10,000 broadcast stations worldwide, users can now listen to whatever catches their fancy. When they connect the ASUS Internet Radio (AIR) via a wireless or LAN (DHCP) connection, the whole world opens up as they can choose music from any genre from any corner of the globe.

When desktops are used to listen to Internet radio, up to 300 Watt/hr of power consumption must be used; and if a notebook is used for listening to Internet radio, 65 Watt/hr is needed.

However, with the AIR, it only takes a mere 8 Watt/hr of power consumption. This energy savings translates into one of the most important concepts when we use technological products ? ensuring that the AIR is a product that has environmental concerns in mind.

Users can also compile up to 250 of their very own favorite list of stations with ease. With a simple press of a button, they can add in their favorite station instantly.

Storing and never losing their favorite stations has been easier. Besides this, the AIR can add and update new radio stations ? giving users the choice to add in their favorite radio stations by entering the URLs of those stations.

It can even update changeable radio stations by means of downloading the station list from servers automatically and using them to update to the latest radio stations list.

With a built-in buffer function that radically improves the quality of songs, users of the AIR will be able to choose between 3 options: 2 second, 4 second and 8 second buffers ? allowing them smooth radio listening even with lapses in the Internet connection.
