SANYO Digital Radios – Coming in JUNE

I mentioned some months ago that Sanyo will enter the Digital Radio (DAB+) market in Australia early this year. Turns out the radio’s are now on the high seas heading our way.

Expect to see them in stores like Big W and Dick Smith Powerhouse TARGET in June.

(For full details and images, click CONTINUE READING)There are three models being released by Sanyo, a Clock Radio, Portable Radio and a Micro System.

Prices range from RRP $129 up to $249 for the Micro System, however with recent price drops across DAB, I’d expect to see the clock radio and portable radio models in major retaillers at the $99 mark very soon.

UPDATE: The Micro System will hit the shelves at around $179, the Clock Radio $99 and the Portable at $89 – BIG W and Target – and those prices could be lower depending on those retaillers!
