Nice. BBC 6Music on the go.

Although it should be pointed out Gordon that no 'true audiophile' would be caught dead listening to DAB. It's analogue radio all the way in the world of the high-end purist. ;-)

Holy crap!

Finally, someone has thought to add DAB to a PMP. Now I'm gonna have to sell my iPod Touch for this, even if it means talking a massive hit in terms of usability and a small hit in feature set, at least I'll have better sound quality, better battery life and best of all I'll be able to listen to Planet Rock on the road!

DAB has taken a lot of flak over the years which I'm not sure it has entirely deserved, as there are some great genre-specialist radio stations on there if you're willing to look for them. But then, I don't know people are able to listen to Radio 1 for more than 10 minutes without flying into a blinding rage and ripping their own ears off. Quite simply, a radio feature on any device is pointless for me if it isn't DAB.

@Kanu:

"The Cowon D2+ DAB is the antithesis of everything an iPod touch stands for which, **considering their respective target markets, is no bad thing.**"

Is this not giving Cowon the respect it deserves?

@Simon - Cowon hasn't quoted DAB battery figures, I'll pose the question.

@Kanu - your blind hatred of Apple isn't healthy, I suggest you take something for that.

Following on from Gordon....

You can get MP3 players that look like those medicine capsules that are near impossible to swallow - and they're only slightly bigger.
