I have one of these (in a box just there, look). Next tonight, I'll be
opening it and blogging the results on  <http://james.cridland.net/blog/>

 Lucky bugger, it's the first Pure digital radio I've probably actually
wanted to buy! <waves fist> 

I've no idea how to do a firmware upgrade yourself, mind; it gets its
firmware upgrades via wifi, so the opportunity for fiddling might be
limited. But it's not quite as open as you might think; and I'm unclear
which bit does what. (Apparently the "interesting" bit is proprietary).   

It has a USB port on it... Bootloader perhaps? That'd be fun to play about
with :D

My little team in the BBC will shortly publish a recipe for making your own
internet radio, by the way, which is totally open source; watch the Radio
Labs blog. It's considerably more expensive than the Pure one though, at
over £350.

Does it have a name? (and does it share any architectural features with the
concept designs for Olinda?) (sorry I keep on going back to that)

Now, let me open the box and start playing. ;)

Pics or it didn't happen
