Panasonic unveils HDD / SD-equipped boomboxes
Not that CDs are beginning to show their age or anything, but Panasonic knows that we'd still prefer to keep our tunes on one big hard drive rather than fish through dozens of plastic enclosures. That said, the firm's 160GB SX850 and 80GB SX450 enable users to rip tracks from the built-in optical drive to the internal HDD at 12x, and even gives folks the ability to transfer tracks to SD cards at 16x. Furthermore, the units tout 30-watts of power, an AM / FM tuner, MP3 / AAC / WMA support, and play nice with your iPod or SV-SD800N / SV-SD400V D-snaps with the requisite adapters. No word on pricing just yet, but those dwelling in Japan can pick either of these units up starting in early September.
