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.

Anyone know why they're slapping the Grundig name on it? Is this just
a sales ploy? It's great that they're stripping off the XM.- Hide quoted text -

No idea why they're developing this habit of dual branding of various
radio models sold in the US market (e.g. also the case with the E5 /
G5).

In Germany, the non-XM-capable E1 is sold under the Lextronix name
(http://www.thiecom.de/shop1/index.html?

altogether.
