This is the first that I know of anyway truly portable DAB radio. Small in size runs on 3xAA batteries and also comes with mains adapter.
I have only had this a few days but thinking about the time of year it would make the ideal present for anyone keen on DAB radio so here are my thoughts after just a fews days use.

Let me introduce you to MyPal. This handy device is a PocketPC from Asus.
An All-In-One has the big advantage of having a printer, scanner and copy machine taking up little more space than a printer alone.
It is 44x34x18cm, the last measurement the height is increased by another 13cm when there is paper in the vertical input tray at the rear of the unit. The scanner opens landscape so any object can be slid in easily without opening the lid to 90 degrees. The weight of the unit is 4.8kilos. Paper is placed face up in the tray and delivered face up from the front base of the unit. In printing this is a four and a six ink offering.

Users are migrating, perhaps not in droves but in a steady flow, from analogue to digital devices. DAB radio is of particular interest.
