1。Pioneer DVJ-X1 DJ Turntable

It was only a matter of time before somebody invented a way to do vinyl-style DJ scratching on a DVD. Pioneer's DVJ-X1 lets you scratch, loop and reverse video from a DVD while the soundtrack stays synched up. (It'll handle CDs, too.) Since DJs normally join two turntables with a mixer, Pioneer still has to devise a new sort of mixer, one that can shift sound and video back and forth.

Price and availability: $3,299; Spring 2004

2. Sony Hi-MD Player/Recorder

Although MiniDisc player/recorders are more common than most people realize, they haven't gotten much respect, especially next to the more glamorous MP3 players. Sony's hoping to change that with Hi-MD, a 1GB MiniDisc that can hold up to 45 hours of compressed digital audio. Player/recorders will start at $200, but Hi-MD discs will cost just $7, so expanding memory won't mean trashing your device.

Price and availability: $200 to $400; April 2004

3. Creative Portable Media Center

The next cool handhelds will be portable video players ― basically, iPods with video-ready color displays. RCA and Archos already sell them, but Microsoft seeks to dominate the category with its Portable Media Center. Creative showed off a prototype; iRiver, Sanyo, Samsung and Viewsonic also plan to launch players this year. One catch: You have to convert MPEG video to WMV files before loading the player up, but Microsoft is busy booking content partners to offer original WMV file downloads.

Price and availability: Various prices TBD; Late summer 2004

4. Sharp Open Aquos TV

Sharp's new 15-in. and 20-in. LCD TVs now come with digital video recorders built in. Open Aquos isn't TiVo, with smart programming, etc., but it's good enough to pause and rewind live TV and to manually record a few shows. The TVs come with a PC-card slot for the included 5GB hard drive, plus another for a Wi-Fi adapter or camera-card reader.

Price and availability: $1,400 to $1,900; Spring 2004

5. Philips Streamium FlatTV

The Streamium may not have a built-in DVR, but unlike the Sharp Open Aquos it comes with the latest Wi-Fi networking built in. (Yes, geeks, we mean 802.11g.) Like the Streamium boombox before it, this TV plays MP3s stored on your PC and draws audio content from the Net. It can also read video files, and will soon have access to video content directly from the Web. A similarly-talented home-theater-in-a-box will also soon be available.

Price and availability: Price TBD; Fall 2004

6. Mission USA ViSound A/V Mirror

A Jetsonian bathroom fixture if there ever was one, this tranquil piece of reflective glass jumps to life at the touch of a button, with the rumbling of hidden NXT flat-panel speakers and a bright LCD display. OK, so the screen measures just a bit more than 6-in. diagonal, but you'll be glad when you eventually hook up your space phone and Mr. Spacely calls to reprimand your tardiness.

Price and availability: Price TBD; Summer 2004

7. RCA Scenium Profiles HDTV

Move over, plasma, now there's something (almost) leaner. For some time, rear-projection TVs based on new digital technologies have been getting slimmer and lighter, separating them from chunky old CRT TVs, if not the so-called flat panels. Still, it came as a total surprise when RCA's parent company Thomson unveiled rear-projection TVs that were less than 7-in. deep. Built with an increasingly popular technology known as DLP, the 50-in. and 61-in. sets are scheduled to ship this year, with a 70-in. screen in 2005.

Price and availability: $8,999 (50-in.) to $9,999 (61-in.); Fall 2004

8. Gibson Audio Wurlitzer Jukebox

Evoking the happy days of the Wurlitzer in a device that could sit in the lounge of the Starship Enterprise, this thing stores up to 1,000 CDs of your music on its hard drive and lets you download more music online (for a fee, naturally). Remove the central LCD console and it becomes an intelligent wireless remote. Floor standing and table top versions ship with Klipsch speakers; a component model is designed for use with A/V systems.

Price and availability: $999 to $1,899; Late summer 2004

9. Windows Media Center Extender

Windows Media Center PCs come with remote controls so you can play DVDs, record live TV and manage your music from your couch. This only works, though, if your Media Center PC is near your TV. Enter the Extender. It sits under your set and uses either wired or wireless networking to remotely access all of the Media Center PC's features, even while someone else is using the PC. Gateway demonstrated one version; others on board include Alienware, Dell, Hewlett-Packard and Samsung.

Price and availability: Various prices TBD; Late 2004

10. Cobra SkyNav 3000 Mobile Navigation System

GPS navigation systems are getting smarter, but it's still hard to type destinations using their touch screens or tiny keyboards. Voice operation is still costly, especially with portables. SkyNav 3000 solves the problem by letting you beam addresses directly from your Palm or PocketPC device. Also on-board: a 20GB hard drive with a street-level detail map of the 48 contiguous states and a good chunk of Canada, plus a gyroscope that can take over and map your movements when you temporarily lose contact with the navigation satellite.

Price and availability: $1,500; Summer 2004
