The Australian commercial radio industry unveiled the world's first digital 
radio capable of displaying pictures. The prototype, called the DAB Picture 
Radio, will allow consumers to hear radio programs in CD-quality sound, 
while seeing images of their favorite artists, album covers, news reports or 
weather maps being broadcast on a color screen.

The development of the radio is a world first, with the receiver going on 
display for the first time at the Commercial Radio National Conference in 
Sydney. The radio was developed with Malaysian-based Inventec Electronics.
