PURE's Elan II does DAB time-shifting on the go

Okay, yes, we know that domestic radio is a bit passe these days, but DAB is still kicking strong, and everybody likes portable tuners that can pause and rewind. Such is PURE's Elan II, which isn't quite as lovingly styled as the EVOKE-1S or as feature-packed as the Sensia, but it provides a cheeky '80s look and offers the company's ReVu technology, allowing 15 minutes of pausing, rewinding, and fast-forwarding of live radio. It'll do FM too, naturally has a line-in for your choice of PMP, and will rock out plug-free for an impressive 35 hours when you fit an optional battery pack, which looks to cost about £25. The radio itself is £99.99, and since we get no DAB love here in the States we won't bother converting those numbers into their dollar equivalents.

Is it just me, or does engadget have an increasing spam problem?

Great! Fast forwarding live radio! Now I can place last minute bets on the outcome of various games!
I wonder what the future will be like!

why are we not seeing DAB+ radios becoming available? maybe it's because the whole management of transition to digital radio has been cocked up by Ofcom and the UK government and they've left it far too late to act.

I listen to classicFM on dab and the quality is OK, but my radio is getting old and unreliable but I refuse to replace it with a non-DAB+ unit.
