It looks like PopCatcher has come out with a new device, dubbed the PopCatcher MusicDock MD-601, which allows you to rip over-the-air radio, chop it up into separate tracks, and convert it to MP3 for your media consumption desires.
Similar to the TimeTrax TraxCatcher, the neat thing about the MusicDock MD-601 is that it includes a dockable 1Gb MP3 player. Once the MP3 player gets filled up, simply download the tunes to your computer, and continue to rip straight from the radio.
Obviously this device differs greatly from the Pioneer Inno - in that it's a bit more blatant in it's interests of "stealing" music - but somehow I don't see it causing the same stir with the RIAA. Of course, if the RIAA wins their lawsuit against XM, devices like this will go the way of the Dodo bird.

Wow, a unit that captures music from the airwaves, segregates the songs into separate MP3s and allows you to move the songs easily from the device to the computer. Hmmmm...I guess this makes the Inno and Helix less offending since you cannot move the captured content to a computer easily. Hey NAB -- are you going after these guys, too?

Oh Ryan, You had me going there. I thought you found the device to undo the RIAA lawsuit. Too bad the RIAA and NAB are in the USA only and this device is only available (Right now) in Norway.
