The £79 XDR-S16DBP portable brings a pair of 0.8W stereo speakers, a 16x2 character LCD display, sleep timer, and headphone jack while the compact XDR-C706DBP is a more traditional DAB+/DAB/FM alarm clock with 0.4W speaker and 4 alarm presets. Both are available now. <br /><P><a href="http://www.engadget.com/2011/04/01/sonys-xdr-s16dbp-wakes-up-from-the-dab-doldrum/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">via</A></P>
