Joggler now too cheap to ignore

April 4th, 2010 by FrequencyCast in Gadgets, Radio, Technology

o2 Joggler now half priceDo you Joggle?

You may recall the TV ads for the o2 Joggler screened last year? Or our podcast coverage of this device? At the time, o2′s home communication device carried a £149 price tag.

o2′s shocked us by slashing this down to under £50, which now makes the Joggler hard to ignore for that price.

What does it do? How’s this:

  • Internet Radio
  • JPG photo frame
  • MP3 and video player
  • Shared online diary
  • Live travel news, weather, news and  sport
  • Games
  • Audio streaming
  • SMS text messaging
  • … with more apps on the way soon via the new App Store.

All this from a full-colour, wireless touch-screen device that has a USB slot for expansion.

We’re not sure how long o2 will be able to offer this device at under £50, but it won’t be for long.

Joggler adds Net Radio and loses £50

November 16th, 2009 by FrequencyCast in Gadgets, Radio

Remember the o2 Joggler? The home device that o2 pushed in May of this year as a replacement magnets on the fridge door as a way to keep the family in touch?

Two bits of news out today are set to make this device that little but more desirable.

o2 Joggler

The o2 Joggler is already a powerful device – digital pictureframe, wireless media streamer, Internet-connected News, Sport, Travel and Weather browser, text message device and online diary… but today, it’s become an Internet radio.

An over-the-air update has added DAB radio experts Pure’s “Lounge” Internet radio application, allowing an initial 100 free streaming stations to be accessed on the Joggler.

An app store is promised by the end of the year, and the Joggler platform is open to developers to create applications.

Also, best of all, o2′s just slashed the price to under £100.
