Any speculation on why this is happening and what it means?
"Any speculation on why this is happening and what it means?"
speculation, Speculation. SPECULATION !
I suspect that until ETON Corp has released their Eton E1 XM Radio
and 'established' their "Eton: Brand Name in the US Market.
That any other radios will not be released using that Brand Name.
The Eton Elite 10 and Eton Elite 100 would be in the same Target
Price and Feature Ranges as some of the current Grundig Brand Name
Radios. At some point ETON Corp. has to choose which Brand Name
they are going to Promote and Market in the USofA Market.
I would look for heavy "Promotion" of the Eton E1 XM Radio for
at least 6 months to a year. Then you will start seeing ADS of
the Eton E1 XM Radio Featured on top with the other newer "Eton
Elite " Brand Name Radios pictured below it. Building sales of
the newer and smaller Eton Elite Radios off of the Eton E1 XM
Radio.
There is also the possibility that ETON Corp. may Sell it's
North American GRUNDIG Brand Name "Marketing Rights" back to
Grundig AG {Germany}'s new joint owners.

Thanks R.
One more question please.
What is the point of making the E1 with only one speaker... which means
monaural XM from a single speaker. Is there a speaker out jack to make it stereo?
I haven't seen that mentioned.
If it was SW only I'd consider it, if it was SW and XM stereo capable through
speakers, I'd consider it. As it is (unless I'm wrong and it can have speaker stereo sound)
I wouldn't want to buy it.
P.S. Thanks for always taking time to answer questions here and in the Yahoo
groups. Your help and advice is much appreciated.
Awesome! I just checked
http://www.etoncorp.com/asp/EIXM.asp
and found the information you mentioned.
Now I want one... when they come out that is.
How much is an XM subscription?
The issue of when they come out is too speculative - it's been
promised for too many years. As to the XM subscription it's in the
$10 - $13 a month range. It used to be $13 but they may have lowered
the price to better compete with Sirius.

Thanks Howard. I'll seriously consider the radio if it's every issued.
