Sensia will also stream media, enabling users to listen to music stored on a home computer or network storage device via Wi-Fi technology.
Overly impressed by Sensia’s media streaming, Internet radio and social application capabilities, the Smarthouse citation reads:
“PURE seems to have perfected the art of providing a simple and easy-to-use device with its Sensia This digital radio comes with a 5.7 –inch capacitive touchscreen that displays applications such as Twitter and Facebook, slide show images and albums artwork, and has built-in Wi-Fi that supports media streaming and provides access to Internet Radio.

Oozing style, the PURE Sensia features a sophisticated touch-screen interface, which allows users to view and interact with the radio like never before. Touch-screen features include scrolling and spinning program lists, touching to select, sliding controls and swiping to change views.
Users can choose between a multi-panel and a full screen view. The screen consists of a visual panel for viewing Apps, station slideshows or album artwork; a list panel for scrolling through lists of radio stations or music stored on a PC; a now playing panel and a control bar for operating Sensia.
Sensia is destined to be the centre piece of any room with a distinctive, elliptical shape and four striking colour choices: Bright red, vivid yellow, sleek black and cool white.
