I'm going to wait until a true pocket-portable unit comes out....maybe
at an attractive price of say US$100.00 max? Hopefully one that uses
standard AA batts and not some proprietary rechargeable thing like
cell-phones.

And a nice small table-top unit about the size of the Recepter HD, but
at a $100 price - along the lines of the Kloss Tivoli #1.

By then we'll see if this IBOC system will be the future of terrestial
radio.

And THEN I will pounce. And I'm sure many others will, too.

Eventually, consumers won't have a choice. Every new radio will be an
IBOC receiver.
