Ian. No, defenitely NO. Such dishonest utterances by RNIB are pure drivel. The credit rests with Pure, and this list, I would say, for this radio appearing. True, RNIB have campaigned for accessability of products, but this New Beacon proclamation is damn lies.

Hello, I have just been looking at the current issue of New Beacon and in the New Products and Consumer news section there is a piece about the Pure Digital Sonus-1Xt. Having eulogised about its features, we read the sentence, 'All of this, and much more, is available now from the latest product launched by RNIB. My dictionary tells me that one of the meanings of 'launch' is ''To bring (a new product) on to the market, especially with promotions and publicity'. This product may be new to the RNIB catalogue, but can they really be said to have launched it? Was the radio really available from RNIB before anyone else? Can RNIB take any real credit for this product? It is I am sure agood thing that RNIB is selling the product, but, unless I am mistaken (and this is very likely to be the case), Can RNIB in any truly meaningful sense claim to have launched it?
