New Tivoli Radio

This new Tivoli Radio might just be what you're looking for in a tabletop version because not only does it get standard terrestrial radio and HD Radio, it can also play streaming content, and hook up with your iTunes to stream content (except for that purchased from iTunes store).

It is also upgradeable for the future, via wi-fi, so eventually it will be able to access Sirius and XM.

This is really a clever idea. I also wonder if Sirius and XM could make money on an IP version of their stations - instead of people accessing XM content via satellite and antenna, having some kind of pay-to-access streaming version online. The quality is certainly up to snuff now for that (anybody watched tv on a slingbox? - completely amazing). That way, you could, in your house, have one radio simple enough for the whole family to operate, that can access your mp3 collection, HD Radio, and Sirius or XM.

Keep in mind that Tivoli radios tend to be higher cost items - their design is very simple and elegant, so you see them in places like Nordstrom's and the Apple store. Their tiny Mono radio comes in colors and usually has a line-in for iPods, etc.

Anyway, just nice to see a device that, even if HD Radio ends up crapping out as a technology, you will still get a lot of use out of the radio.
