Founded by Jake Sigal, a professional DJ and consumer-electronics developer, Livio specializes in standalone, wifi compatible Internet radios. The Pandora model leverages that personalized radio service, allowing listeners to find new music based on old and current favorites. The unit features Pandora’s iconic “thumbs up” and “thumbs down” controls both on the remote and the device, and lets users access over 11,000 Internet stations with no additional fee. The NPR model permits listeners to browse National Public Radio music, shows and podcasts, with most content archived for up to two weeks. Both units also contain a programmable alarm clock with sleep timer.
