Replt To - RANDY,
..
Thank You for the "TIP"
..
So Eton Corp. is talking and the word is that the
Eton E1 XM Radio will be 'out' Mid January 2005.
..
It is interesting that the Price will be about =3DEqual=3D
to the Grundig Satellit 800 Millennium Radio.
..
The 'original' MSRP for the Grundig Satellit 800 M Radio.
was IIRC $699.95 and is now generally priced at $499.95.
Currently Universal Radio has the Grundig Satellit 800 M
Radio "On Sale" at $449.95.

P R I C E - ABOUT THE MSRP AN WHAT YOU CAN EXPECT TO PAY:
I would suspect that the Eton E1 XM Radio will have the
$699.95 MSRP and that for the first few months that they
will be sold at the Full MSRP of $699.95 until the fall
off in 'demand' at that Price-Point warrants a Big
"Price Discount" by the Retailers and OnLine Merchants.
