Speaking of HD Radio… Griffin announced plans to develop radioSHARK HD, a digital table top radio for Mac and PC with HD Radio technology. radioSHARK HD–like Griffin’s radioSHARK and radioSHARK 2–will house a radio tuner in a sleek “shark fin” that connects to the USB port of a Mac or PC. With radioSHARK HD, users will be able to listen to their favorite AM/FM stations in pure digital audio quality, conveniently from their personal computers. With next-generation digital HD Radio technology from iBiquity, digital FM stations approach CD-quality sound, and digital AM stations approach FM-quality sound.
HD Radio technology also makes “multicasting” possible, allowing broadcasters to double or triple the number of program streams (all free) available to listeners. With innovative hardware-software integration from Griffin, next-generation digital radio becomes truly interactive. radioSHARK HD will allow users to “pause live radio,” and to schedule recordings of digital radio programming. radioSHARK HD will go further by automatically identifying radio stations and even individual songs broadcast in digital format.
Finally, radioSHARK HD will allow users to review and playback music recorded from digital radio on a personal computer, sync recordings of digital radio programming to an iPodTM, and purchase songs heard on digital radio from Apple’s iTunes Music StoreTM.
Griffin’s radioSHARK HD will be available in Summer 2007.
When is it going to be out and how much because i want one.
The first two versions of the radioSHARK work great with radiotime.com which adds a program guide and internet radio. They plan to also support the HD version.
How much is the expected price of the RadioShark with HD to be out in summer 2007? Where do you buy this?
I think this will be a super device just like HDTV receivers for laptops. I wish they will make it as small as a usb stick for laptops.I will definitely buy one. please notify me as soon as it comes out in the market.
