Best Buy’s Insignia is the world’s first portable HD radio, allowing users to enjoy high quality digital FM radio on the go.

Meh. Who am I kidding? Best Buy is selling it for $50 (USD)! You can buy an mp3 player with a built-in FM tuner for that price. I also think that it’s too big for a radio player. Wait a couple of years and HD radios will be smaller and cheaper.

Besides, the Zune HD will have a built-in HD radio receiver, so if you’re going to buy a portable HD radio player, I think you’ll get more bang for your buck with that.

    I was going to buy a ZuneHD just for the HD radio. Now I don’t have to. :D

    Srsly if you haven’t listened to HD radio you should. It’s really quite good.

      So it’s really worth $50? I didn’t know it was that good. Anyway even if we had HD radio here in the Philippines there are barely any radio stations worth listening to.:D
