Today's tech deal might just hit the right note with any petrol heads out there, or more accurately Porsche fans, as we have word that the Porsche Design Eton radio and iPod dock has been reduced in price from ?480 to ?299.

This new price perhaps gives a more accurate representation of what you're actually getting in terms of function, as despite the product being available for just over a year, the ?180 saving is still considerable and hints at what you were actually paying for - the logo.

The device gets three 1.5-inch drivers and a 3-inch, 15 Watt subwoofer which is housed in a double wall construction for apparently "superior acoustics". It also comes with 10 FM and 20 DAB memory presets, 12/24 hour clock, alarm battery back-up and a remote control complete with torch. If that wasn't enough the Eton P'9123 also gets an OLED display.

Measuring 130 x 141 x 229mm and weighing in at 2.8 kilograms, the P'9123 is available now at the lower price from the Porsche Design website.
