Gadget love: the Magicbox iMP

Large Imp1This actually arrived at work a few months ago, but I wasn’t able to use it because of our firewall and I thought it was going to end up in my gadget graveyeard. However, with a wi-fi network now safely installed at home, I plugged it in..and, unbelievable…it worked out the box.
And it is brilliant. It’s not just that I can access any internet radio station in the world. But best of all, I can get any BBC programme whenever I want. No more missed Archers omnibuses. It’s the News Quiz on a Sunday morning. Quite fantastic. There are probably some serious points to be made about the future of radio etc etc, but you can work that out when you get your hands on one yourself.
Oh, and it acts as a music player if you have an iTunes library on your network (although it doesn’t play anything you’ve bought off iTunes…grrrr).
