It looks like the Eton E1 (minus XM satellite radio capability, it
would seem) is to be rebadged as the Grundig G1.

Not available until late 2007.

The selling price on this set could potentially prove more attractive
than that of the $500 E1XM: The G1's list price is $500 on
Universal's website, as opposed to the $700 list price of the E1
(which Universal and other outlets regularly sell at 499.95).

RadioIntel has some pictures of the G1, taken at CES 2007.

For what ever it is worth XM and Sirius issued the long expected
announcement they will be merging. If this agreement eventually
passes muster at Justice Dept., will the broadcast standards also be
merged? Will one standard win out over the other or will yet a third
one emerge? I don't know, but I would hold off buying into an XM
configured G1 until this is resolved.
