Bush launches TR04 touch-screen DAB radio

A touch screen on a stationary radio may seem a touch overkill, but that evidently hasn't stopped Bush from creating a DAB radio with one on the front. The ridiculously code-named TR04DABBLK has touch buttons in the place of physical buttons, and has up to 10 preset DAB stations, and 10 regular FM station presets. Other than that it features two line scrolling text on an LED display -- oooh, ahh -- and costs £45 (around $90). Move along please, nothing to touch here.

What's wrong with touch screens as long as they work?

How many perfectly good devices have bitten the dust because of ONE failed critical button? -MANY

Don't dis the concept, even if the radio ends up sucking.

Yeah I agree.
This device actually looks freakin' hot, very clean design.

This is pretty cheap for a DAB radio in the UK.

TR04DABBLK - isn't that bad. It has the advantage of being usefully searchable. And it makes me think there'll be a TR04DABPNK. DAB radios need some kind of unique thing, most of them are pretty similar. But I'd still choose "smaller" over "touch screen".

Yeah it is, especially considering it has a touch screen AND and FM tuner as well.

First Gore invents the Internet, and now Bush invents the touch-screen DAB radio! It's good to have smart, innovative men leading the country!

Styled in the 70s and has a touch screen that touches my heart so softly.

I'll forgive the typo in code-name.
