Pure Digital updates the Evoke-1 with the Evoke-1xt

Pure Digital has announced an updated version of its popular 1 speaker digital radio player. The new features include improved audio, display and design.

The case has been rounded slightly and you can now have a choice of maple or cherry finishes. Additionally the display has been tinkered with - it's now blue and white rather than black and green and Pure Digital has even included a countdown timer for the kitchen user.

More interesting is the addition of a USB connector for product updates implying that this isn't the last update we are are going to see.

The Evoke will keep its price of £100 and be shipping from August.
