So how does this ROCKI work ? After connection to your sound system you can control the ROCKI with the ROCKI app from any compatible smartphone or tablet (we are assuming both iOS and Android here).
You can now play your awesome tunes from your handset / tablet to ROCKI over wireless. ROCKI features 802.11 b/g/n access, meaning the range could be from across your house or office.
We have to wait and see what other apps it will interface with but it sounds pretty cool,(UPnP and DLNA is supported too) in many ways this is what Nexus Q should have been but we can only hope Goolge will bring that back to the table at some point - However until then, the ROCKI has pretty much an empty market space to shoot at. IHAG are very interested in this because this could change the way we listen to music, we often enjoy many streaming services such as Google Play Music, but would they be better listening to the music on your HiFi, via your sexy KEF or Bose speakers ?!
The ROCKI is small, functional and has massive potential, yes we are excited to get our hands on one asap. It will also come in many funky colours !
The same guys created the fantastic Omate Truesmart so we expect the same funding via kickstarter will happen soon.
