Now it’s released its first mobile DAB radio in the guise of the equally snappily named XDR-M1. This is set to give some serious competition to the current best selling DAB radio, the Pure Digital Pocket DAB 1000 and others such as the S Series Personal DAB Tuner by Ministry of Sound."</i><br /><br /><img src="http://www.digitalmediathoughts.com/images/Sony XDR-M1.JPG" /> <br /><br />If you live in a part of the world where you can received DAB (Digital Audio Broadcast), they conclude that this is currently the best pocketable DAB on the market.

If you live in a part of the world where you can received DAB (Digital Audio Broadcast), they conclude that this is currently the best pocketable DAB on the market.
Which apparently doesn't include my country anymore as the Finnish Broadcasting Company (YLE) just killed the DAB radio star. :( Supposedly, it is worth focusing attention to the DVB radio broadcasting and maintaining existing FM transmitters -- not jumping over to DAB. Which is sad, since there are no DVB radio recievers available for cars (not counting the Nokia 7710, since that is a portable device). So, no more DAB here for a long time. :cry:
