PURE DIGITAL LAUNCHES POCKETDAB 1000

Came in but I missed it at first..., there is another PR from ImgTec/ Pure announcing the PocketDAB 1000:

"PURE DIGITAL LAUNCHES POCKETDAB(tm) 1000
Personal DAB Digital Radio

London, 19th March 2003: PURE Digital - a division of Imagination
Technologies (LSE:IMG) - has launched the PURE PocketDAB(tm) 1000, a stylish
handheld portable DAB digital radio that will be on sale in May 2003 from
major retailers and independent hi-fi dealers nationwide for just £169.99
(RRP inc. VAT). PocketDAB 1000 will be on display at The Smart Show 2003,
April 6 - 8, Birmingham NEC, Stand 137."

"The PocketDAB 1000 is the premier handheld DAB digital radio for the
discerning radio listener on the move. With more than 16 hours of battery
life1 the PocketDAB 1000 enables the user to enjoy DAB's improved reception,
station choice and audio-stability anywhere that broadcasts are available.

The PocketDAB 1000 has modern, attractive styling, with its striking
anodised aluminium casework and blue backlight. Its portability is enhanced
both by the unit's light weight and the absence of a cumbersome telescopic
aerial - in fact the PocketDAB 1000's aerial is built-in to the unit's
headphones for maximum usability and performance.

With the PocketDAB 1000 users can enjoy the great choice of DAB digital
radio stations wherever they go2 - including DAB exclusive stations like
Core, OneWord, talkSPORT,
6 Music, Radio 1Xtra and BBC 7.

PocketDAB 1000 has been designed for ease of use with a central joystick for
navigation and separate controls for key functions like display settings,
presets and EQ. Stations are simply selected by name and the PocketDAB 1000
automatically tunes in, eliminating the fine-tuning and re-tuning required
by analogue portables. PocketDAB 1000 automatically remembers the user's ten
most listened to stations in a favourites list for fast selection. Stations
can be ordered alphanumerically, by multiplex, by favourite and by active
stations for maximum ease of use.

PocketDAB 1000 features an easily readable blue backlit LCD with two lines
of 16 character alphanumeric display as well as six graphical icons for
volume, battery life, time, favourites mode, EQ and signal strength. The
backlight is activated by any key-press and times out after five seconds
during battery operation. DAB radio stations broadcast text that appears on
the display and can include news headlines, sporting results, track
information, call-in telephone numbers and much more, depending on the
station being listened to.
PURE Digital is the leading supplier of DAB radios in the world. Its product
range includes the DRX-701ES DAB tuner, winner of What Hi-Fi Sound &
Visions' Tuner Product of the Year 2002, EVOKE-1, the first DAB radio under
£100, and the premium portable DAB radio, the PURE DRX-601EX. Other new
products include the DRX-702ES DAB/AM/FM tuner and the EVOKE-2 DAB/FM radio.

The PocketDAB 1000 is based on the Diablo DAB digital radio module,
developed by Frontier Silicon and The Technology Partnership (TTP) using
licensed technology from Imagination Technologies' Metagence and Ensigma
divisions. Diablo is the smallest, most power efficient, and lowest cost
handheld digital radio solution on the market.
