[webcast-l] Olinda - a new radio

[Bill Best]

Fwd:

"Olinda is a new radio that has been built for BBC Audio & Music
Interactive. It includes innovative features like modularity and
social networking in a physical device. But we normally build websites
and other digital media so why would we want to build a new radio? To
actually have a device in the physical world? These are the three
reasons I give...

1. Physical things make people think differently and can help them
better understand new concepts.
2. The digital radio market in the UK is fairly mature and very
successful but there is not a huge amount of innovation at the moment,
we think there might be room for something that will help stimulate
that market.
3. Online radio is great but people still like to listen to the radio
through actual radios."
