Default One Perfect Pocket Radio?

I'm searching for the perfect pocket radio.

* Cover AM/FM/SW
* Digital tuning
* Smaller than 4" x 3" x 1"
* Weigh less than 10oz
* Use AA batteries
* Std 3.5mm stereo headphone jack
* Offer SSB
* Excellent & rugged "build" quality
* Excellent performance on *all* bands
* Priced less than $100
* I'd also like weather and TV (VHF & UHF) coverage.

A few candidates that I've come across and with the exception of
weather/TV for which I'd pay a little more where they fall short of my
criteria are;

Grundig YB400PE -
* Expensive and big

Grundig YB550PE -
* Still too big and no SSB

Eton E100 -
* No SSB and not great performance

Yaesu VR120
* Expensive, no SSB and terrible AM/FM


And what's up with the manufactures that seem similar? Eton & Grundig &
Tecsun? Kaito & Sangean?

Thanx,
Bob
