So yeah. I already tried to reply... and I said that the newer Zune has HD radio, making this "new" product obsolete. Have a nice day.]]>Jul 17th 2009 8:12PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/17/insignia-ns-hd01-portable-hd-radio-hands-on-and-impressions/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/17/insignia-ns-hd01-portable-hd-radio-hands-on-and-impressions/
I wish my 16GB Zune had HD Radio...and what's with all these devices with radios never having AM, especially with the sound quality bump with HD Radio. I would love to listen to some baseball or basketball games while I am running in the evening.]]>Jul 17th 2009 8:15PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/17/insignia-ns-hd01-portable-hd-radio-hands-on-and-impressions/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/17/insignia-ns-hd01-portable-hd-radio-hands-on-and-impressions/Jul 17th 2009 11:38PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/17/insignia-ns-hd01-portable-hd-radio-hands-on-and-impressions/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/17/insignia-ns-hd01-portable-hd-radio-hands-on-and-impressions/Jul 18th 2009 12:51AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/17/insignia-ns-hd01-portable-hd-radio-hands-on-and-impressions/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/17/insignia-ns-hd01-portable-hd-radio-hands-on-and-impressions/

Sorry, boys, I ain't ever *paying* for HD Radio. Maybe if it is already in a device, fine, but even then if I can buy an HD version and non-HD for less you know which way I'll lean.]]>Jul 17th 2009 6:03PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/17/insignia-ns-hd01-portable-hd-radio-hands-on-and-impressions/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/17/insignia-ns-hd01-portable-hd-radio-hands-on-and-impressions/Jul 17th 2009 6:05PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/17/insignia-ns-hd01-portable-hd-radio-hands-on-and-impressions/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/17/insignia-ns-hd01-portable-hd-radio-hands-on-and-impressions/I bet rewinding back to the 70s/80s (don't ask me... I am too young for that) and people would give you the death-state for a Walkman... something any young person back then would get a hard-on to have.
Now... they're all sitting in a drawer collecting dust somewhere.
Give HD Radio some time as well, its gonna head the same path... but whining about having to pay for the device?

I got 1 HD station in New Hampshire.
The other stations would break up if the signal was low.
Really didn't sound good otherwise.
If they offered it for like $15.99 they might have something

3. overpriced.
4. huge glossy display probably kills battery life.
5. logo stolen from radio shack.

i do listen to some radio programs (mostly the evening news) but not enough to justify buying this monster. almost everything is podcast now, with the exception of morning DJs-- and i consider that a blessing.]]>Jul 17th 2009 8:23PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/17/insignia-ns-hd01-portable-hd-radio-hands-on-and-impressions/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/17/insignia-ns-hd01-portable-hd-radio-hands-on-and-impressions/
Too bad Apple REFUSES to include an FM tuner in the iPods!

Why no AM tuners (for sports) or baseball games broadcast in FM??!

Either way, radio is still around, like it or not.

HD is compressed sound that has all of its juice extracted. Get the difference?
If you can't, it's because your FM radio was made to the same crappy standard as the HD Radio. It's true that brain dead FM engineers process the sound to within a inch of its life, but I wouldn't assume they're providing a cleaner feed to the HD transmitter.]]>Jul 17th 2009 11:48PM
