A Stereo That's Small and Digital
(New York Times article - username: annoying, password: annoying) Sony is coming out with a bookshelf stereo that has a built-in 20GB hard drive. Not only will it record CD tracks to the hard drive, but it has TiVo-like features that allow you to schedule recordings of radio broadcasts. Looks pretty cool, costs around $1000, but like the article says - hopefully other manufacturers will start making more reasonably priced knock-offs of it.
