主题：【精品速递】2004 消费电器展上的10大热门产品。 -- Highway
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
Website: gibsonaudio.com
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

其他得太贵了。
换下来的东西可不要扔到垃圾箱啊。可以甩给我帮我“脱贫”嘛！
从亚洲厂家争回些地盘；
COBRA GPS实用，价钱如果到1000附近，应该会每车一台。
感觉上MICROSOFT的硬件象XBOX，还有这个MEDIA CENTER都不太留意外型设计，其实消费用品，如果外型讨喜，那价钱可以开得很高。APPLE至今还活着，产品外型CUTE，也是一个原因。
瞎掰活。
Gateway® recommends Microsoft® Windows® XP Media Center Edition
Sony 推出 MD 已经很多年了。为什么没有用到计算机的数据存贮上去呢？理论上来说，如果有 1 GB 的容量，已经可以储存整部的电影了。另外，作为替代 CD 或者软盘或者活动硬盘也很好。结果反而是象 zip disk，CD-R 这种东西成功的占领了市场。
在日本，有个类似于外置式软区的东西，叫做MO，盘片和MD碟片大小差不多，容量不超过1G。然而可能是MO驱动器太大而且很贵的缘故吧，最近不是很流行，感觉要被DVD-RW驱动器代替了，现在DVD-RW已经很便宜了。
但缺点是没有大家的支持，不能成为业界标准，而且价格也一直下不来。比如Stick Memory，除了SONY别人都不用.
