Imagination did not originally set out to sell consumer electronics and the first Pure radio was merely a demonstration platform for its DAB decoding chip. The success of the first sub-£100 DAB receiver, the Evoke-1, led to the development of further products[2]

The Lounge
While many internet radios use third party web portals like Reciva or Frontier Silicon's online portal. Pure's internet radios use a manufacturer managed web portal called 'Pure Connect'. This enables people to listen to a wide variety of international content, and manage their favourite internet radio streams, reflecting directly onto any registered radios. Pure Connect (as of February 2011) features over 17 thousand live stations, as well as a variety of on demand content in the form of Podcasts and BBC Listen Again content. The Lounge was given a new look in early 2011, introducing new search systems and a contemporary new look. The 'PURE Lounge' App was also launched towards the end of 2010 to provide access to the Lounge portal on iPhone, iPod Touch and iPad.
