Looking like a radio straight out of the past, the unit is capable of connecting to your choice of device via Bluetooth and can stream from virtually any source thanks to built-in [Chromecast](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/modern-record-players) functionality. The speaker also functions as an [alarm clock](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/roberts-ortus-5) and will provide access to over 100,000 Internet radio stations when connected to WiFi. The Grace Digital Mondo+ Classic Internet Radio is finished with a wooden case that boasts a Qi wireless charging pad on the top. This allows the unit to be used as a bedside or desktop solution to keep a smartphone within reach and charged up. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.5/10 - Popularity: 61% | Activity: 35% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Tech](https://www.trendhunter.com/tech) > [Multimedia](https://www.trendhunter.com/multimedia) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Retro-style Smart Home Devices:** Opportunity for companies to create a line of smart home devices with a classic aesthetic to cater to a nostalgia-driven market. - **Connected Alarm Clocks:** Opportunity for innovation in alarm clocks by incorporating modern connectivity features such as Bluetooth and Chromecast functionality. - **Internet Radios with Wireless Charging:** Opportunity for wireless charging and audio companies to collaborate and create home audio solutions that serve a dual purpose of charging devices and playing music. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Smart Home Devices:** Companies in the smart home industry can integrate smart capabilities to create products that combine modern functionality with a classic style. - **Audio Equipment:** Opportunity for companies in the audio equipment industry to create modern versions of retro products that incorporate new technology such as Bluetooth and wireless charging. - **Wireless Charging:** Companies in the wireless charging industry can team up with audio companies to create retro-looking products that also provide the added convenience of wireless charging capabilities. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Retro Sound Systems](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/d32.md) - [Connected Retro Design Speakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ruark-r140-sound-system.md) - [Tech-Infused Analog Radios](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/retro-aesthetics-and-modern-technology.md) - [Vintage-Style Audio Systems](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/edifier-d32.md) - [Mobile Radio Players](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/retro-radio1.md) - [Retrofuturistic Streaming Audio Devices](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/diy-streaming-audio-player.md) - [Fashion-Forward Audio Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/luna-audio.md) - [Juxtaposing Modern Streaming Speakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/songbook.md) - [Artisan Hi-Fi Radiograms](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/r810-mie.md)
