NEWS: Orange Liveradio offers buy-on-demand MP3s

Here's an Internet radio with a novel twist. This slim, smart-looking device isn't only noteworthy for being brought to market by telecoms company Orange but it also promises to make it easy for you to buy and download the songs as you hear them.

Not content with being an Internet radio, the Orange Liveradio also allows you to store your favourite tunes and then log-on to the Orange Music Store and find them ready to buy... as long as you have a PC, that is.

There's a 3.5mm stereo jack line-out headphone connection and a USB port for MP3 players. Other features include eight preset keys for storing favourites, clock and alarm functions.
