Hi Mark,
Most VIs I know have gone for the Ministry of sound DR011. However, the
|Pure 1000 operates in almost exactly the same way. But it's chunkier
and takes three batteries instead of two although this gives extended
battery life. Neither of these models have telescopic aerials. I've
not seen the Roberts model. As for your final question, Pure is
planning to launch a pocket version of the Bug, with pause, rewind and
ability to record to SD card. My info is that they're not yet sure
whether they would prioritise this for having the IVox speech put on it
as they have to suss out the likely market. However, I know it is
something they're thinking about.
Hope this helps.
Cheers now.
Ian

Subject: [access-uk] Pocket DAB Radios
Hi,
As my Sony pocket radio has just given up the ghost, I'm looking
to buy a pocket DAB radio to use on my daily train journeys to and from
work.
I'm wondering whether anyone has experience of these. Which are
the most accessible models, and how well do they work on modern trains.
My experience suggests that some of the newer rolling-stock is less
signal-freindly than the old 'slammers'.
Does anyone also know whether Pure is planning to launch a
talking pocket radio in the near future.
Any advice appreciated.
Mark
