Revo has announced the launch of the Heritage, a new multi-format digital radio.

Described as a "contemporary reinterpretation of classic European table radio designs from the 50s and 60s", the Heritage gets a walnut veneer and metal exterior.

Offering DAB, DAB+, FM and Wi-Fi internet radio - as well as wireless audio streaming - the Heritage also gets an iPod or iPhone dock.

Audio performance is delivered by a custom designed 3-inch neodymium speaker driver and a high fidelity 7W amplifier. There's also a graphical OLED display and a "joystick" control system.

The Heritage comes with a 30-day Last.fm trial subscription, which, if users want to continue to use costs ?3 a month.

The Heritage will go on sale in early November, priced at ?229.95, direct from Revo or from John Lewis.

Revo has just announced a new iPod dock/DAB radio/music system called the Domino D3. It combines a number of audio sources into one unit, including the ability to listen to Last.fm on the device.

It's worth mentioning the design, because the company has won design awards in the past. The D3 has a retro look, with soft edges and has a rubberised coating. On the left is the OLED display, on the right is the speaker, and in the middle are three knobs used to control its functions.

Those functions include DAB, DAB+, internet radio, FM radio, wireless streaming of music files from a connected PC or Mac, and an iPod and iPhone dock. As previously mentioned, it can also access Last.fm, though you'll need a subscription to get access to that service. It comes with 30 days free, and it's ?3 per month thereafter.

The Domino is also available in cheaper versions. There's a D1 edition which has DAB but no Wi-Fi, and a D2 that has Wi-Fi but no DAB. The D1 costs ?130, the D2 is ?150, and the full-on D3 is ?170. All three are on sale from 1 November and come in black or white.
