[Electronics-talk] Accessible HD/FM Radio Announced

[Gerald Levy]

Sounds like a good product.  Unfortunately,HD radio has not caught on, and 
its long-term viability is questionable.  Also, the financial health of Best 
Buy is on very shaky grounds, and it could go under at any time, leaving 
owners of this new product in the lurch.  And Best Buy's store-brand 
Insignia products have not enjoyed a good reputation for quality.  A few 
years ago, they introduced a voice-command clock radio that was beset by all 
kinds of technical glitches.  It was quickly discontinued and wound up on 
Cowboom.com selling for only $8.  So let's see if Insignia's latest attempt 
at a blind -friendly radio is a real improvement.
