New Bush boombox

Hi,

 

Whilst browsing eBay, I found this, and thought it might be of interest here.

 

It's made by Bush and is for sale at Argos in the UK. It features today's inevitable iPod dock. From its design, it seems Bush are trying to cash in on the success of Lasonic's i-931. It's cheaper than Lasonic's offering, so I guess they hope prospective i-931 customers will buy their product instead. Link

Well if you did put your " First name and made with your

hands " together  - would bring this " Dave " person to mind

Yeah Arron, the vertical CD player on the Philips is a nice touch, it has a sort of Sharp VZ thing going on, the way the door flips down!

 

I've just found some detail shots of the Bush box (right click the images and click 'View Image' to zoom them up)
