    We got our hands on Sony's so-hot new XDR-S3HD home HD radio. Here's the quick rundown:We like: Gorgeous, mid-century modern design. Clear, easy to read display, even uses RDS. Phone-like reception meter even works with AM/FM. Decent enough sound output. We don't: Massive friggin power brick. Oh, and it can't be unplugged from the unit. Annoying to scan channels with the dial. Included aux cable looks like it will fit your iPhone. But it doesn't. Actually still blinks 12:00 if you don't set it. Sheesh.
