RIAA fodder: Toshiba Gigabeat U

| 4 Comments | No TrackBacks

Toshiba Gigabeat U-series
Enter the Toshiba Gigabeat U-series. Available in 1GB and 2GB sizes, the Gigabeat U at first glance looks like your standard issue cutesie digital audio player. Oh, but it's not.

The Gigabeat U has a built-in FM transmitter and receiver, allowing you to essentially rip and share tunes on-the-go. Using the receiver, you can record FM broadcasts direct to MP3. And then using the FM transmitter, you can broadcast your recordings to other digital audio players around you that receive FM (which is pretty common nowadays).

Rip, Mix, Share. Welcome to the (new) Social.

It's just under 12mm thick, sports a 1.1-inch display and rocks out with a 20-hour battery life. The Gigabeat U will be launched in Japan on April 7th with a price of about $118 for the 1-gigger and $142 for the 2-gigger.

I'd get one of those to "record" Ron and Fez.
But we always have podcasts

Come on XM...start making deals with other companies like Toshiba. Beautful system...

...and the NAB probably endorses this product!

RIAA can't do anything about it. These would be analogue copies.
