Both of these numbers were expected to drop by 25% in 2006.  I am not sure if the actual numbers for 2006 have been released yet but you should expect the numbers to be 150 million and 4.5 million.  I would say all-in-all not a bad end of life for a product now in year 15 of production.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Jimmy]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Apr 28th 2007 2:44PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Clarion MAX9700DT all-in-one does in-car NAV, 1Seg, and MiniDisc]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2007/04/28/clarion-max9700dt-all-in-one-does-in-car-nav-1seg-and-minidisc/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2007/04/28/clarion-max9700dt-all-in-one-does-in-car-nav-1seg-and-minidisc/</guid><description><![CDATA[again with the "why MiniDisc?" vibe on Engadget. Why? Because there's a market. Particularly in Japan. Why ATRAC? 'Cause it's the standard for MiniDisc and compares (usually favourably) to mp3? <br><br>Of course there's Hi-MD for a few years now, which has allowed lossless CD-quality recordings on 1GB discs on players with more input choices than you can shake a stick at with removable batteries and robust media (horrifying concept in the dopi world, I know). ]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[tekdroid]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Apr 28th 2007 3:34PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Clarion MAX9700DT all-in-one does in-car NAV, 1Seg, and MiniDisc]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2007/04/28/clarion-max9700dt-all-in-one-does-in-car-nav-1seg-and-minidisc/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2007/04/28/clarion-max9700dt-all-in-one-does-in-car-nav-1seg-and-minidisc/</guid><description><![CDATA[I agree. Minidisc is a viable and affordable format. The fact that North Americans seem to have fallen in love with expensive and substandard technology means that they need to constantly justify their choices and denegrate anything different.<br>In this case, I would need to make sure that they are supporting the Hi-MD format discs since they offer 1Gb of storage for about $6.<br>But, since this is never going to make it to North America...it really doesn't matter.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Torontoguy]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Apr 28th 2007 4:13PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Clarion MAX9700DT all-in-one does in-car NAV, 1Seg, and MiniDisc]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2007/04/28/clarion-max9700dt-all-in-one-does-in-car-nav-1seg-and-minidisc/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2007/04/28/clarion-max9700dt-all-in-one-does-in-car-nav-1seg-and-minidisc/</guid><description><![CDATA[If you want to know why Minidiscs are still around-listen to your Ipod with a pair of decent cans, such as Sennheiser HD650's, and then listen to a Hi-MD recorded in Linear PCM.<br><br>The Ipod will sound pretty flat, but looks really cool, just like in all the ads, the Minidisc sound is clear, sharp and warm. Every year we are told by the "industry" that the Minidisc is a redundant format?? Consumer choice however, says differently.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Technocide]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Apr 28th 2007 4:31PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Clarion MAX9700DT all-in-one does in-car NAV, 1Seg, and MiniDisc]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2007/04/28/clarion-max9700dt-all-in-one-does-in-car-nav-1seg-and-minidisc/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2007/04/28/clarion-max9700dt-all-in-one-does-in-car-nav-1seg-and-minidisc/</guid><description><![CDATA[Yeah to be honest, I actually still use my minidisc player - i just figured i was the only one.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Meltz;]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Apr 28th 2007 5:18PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Clarion MAX9700DT all-in-one does in-car NAV, 1Seg, and MiniDisc]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2007/04/28/clarion-max9700dt-all-in-one-does-in-car-nav-1seg-and-minidisc/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2007/04/28/clarion-max9700dt-all-in-one-does-in-car-nav-1seg-and-minidisc/</guid><description><![CDATA[Looks like the same hardware as the Clarion NAX907HD and MAX675VD that's in my car now, sans the 3D mapping and unsupported formats (around here). I have heard they are working on 3D mapping for North America - sweet. Figures Clarion would lead the way.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[ofsoundmind]]></dc:creator><pubDate>May 1st 2007 12:20AM</pubDate></item></channel></rss>
