Affordable DAB!
After much anticipation, Videologic have finally released the first in a new line of affordable Digital radios. The Evoke-1 is a small stand alone radio that will comfortably sit on a kitchen worktop or shelf. It uses a modern chipset which as well as consuming less power, reduces the cost for manufacturers considerably. The Evoke-1 is available for just £99 (RRP). [1 July 2002]
Update
Special Update: Apparently, some PC World stores are selling the Wavefinder for £49.95. It's not clear whether this is a new fixed price or a special offer, or even a mistake, as the price on the box is still £99 but when the bar code is read the till displays £49.95 (And that's what is charged).

One year on from it's launch, 15,000 Wavefinders have been sold in the UK, giving Psion a 38% share of the ailing DAB receiver market. Many of those sold were bundled with PC's and laptops as part of a multimedia package. For the time being, PC World and some other UK retailers are selling the Wavevinder for just £99 however many new users are reporting problems attempting to use it with Windows XP, the OS with the tag line, Yes you can

WinXP doesn't come with Java support (The Wavefinder software is written in Java) but even when a JVM is installed, the drivers either don't work or the sound produced has drop-outs. Psion are apparently aware of the situation... Incidentally, you should install Java from Sun Microsystems (the creators of Java) rather than Microsofts own obsolete download. For more information on that see the statement on Sun's site.
It will be interesting to see whether Psion Digital continue developing DAB products when a range of cheap and portable radios, from other companies, appear next year. Psion own a 3% share of Radioscape, one of the companies behind the Wavefinder chipset, however a new chipset from a rival company now allows manufacturers to make kitchen radios, hi-fi separates and even battery powered personal radios for between £100 - £200. These products should start to appear before next summer and it's expected that DAB receivers will then become commonplace on the shelves of most domestic Hi-fi retailers (Richer Sounds, John Lewis, Dixons, etc).
