Record AM/FM radio with RadioYourWay

Here's a dedicated device by Pogo Products that looks and functions much like an iPod, except that it acquires music by recording AM or FM radio. The RadioYourWay uses up to ten timer recording presets to record your favorite shows. Once you've captured your audio, you can transfer it to your Mac via USB (the website says that a firewire "upgrade" is available, but doesn't give more information than that).

You can actually record from any audio source, which the RadioYourWay converts to Mp3. It will play Mp3, WMA or RVF files, and can also be used to store data files. There are currently two models available: The RadioYourWay LX 128MB, which offers 8.5 hours of recording time and costs $199.99US, and the LX 512MB, which clocks in at 34 hours recording time, and runs $249.99US. There is a European version of each model as well (which ships with a 220V AC), each with the same price point in US dollars.

Looks interesting. Kind of a hard sell to someone who already owns an iPod (who needs two devices), but if radio is really all you're interested in carrying around, it may be worth checking out.
