>The new talking HD FM radio we've hinted about is due to be 
>introduced officially to the market during the C.E.S. (Consumer 
>Electronic Show) in Las Vegas January 8th. The radio has a form 
>factor nearly identical to that of the Narrator. The features are 
>also similar with some enhancements.  The radio will be manufactured 
>and sold by Audio Vox. For the general public, the radio will sell 
>for $149, however, those with vision impairments will be allowed to 
>use a special coupon code which will reduce the price to $99. The 
>radio will be initially available from the Audio Vox web site 
><http://www.audiovox.com>http://www.audiovox.com. I'm sure Sun 
>Sounds will be selling them also. The radio is a stereo AM/ FM HD 
>radio with tactile buttons, a large print display, snooze / alarm / 
>clock,  presets, scan up and down, manual tuning, Auxiliary input, 
>headphone jack. The radio announces the buttons pushed, as well as 
>the results of a button push. For instance, it announces the name 
>and frequency of stations as you tune. Or, it announces when you 
>switch from FM to AM to Auxiliary.
