Now listen up! If you want cool music pumped out of your pink speakers, the Sony D55HD is for you! As far as I know, it’s only available in Japan, but as near as I can make out from the Japanese site, it’s pretty cool. (I don’t read Japanese, so I’m depending on Google Translate.) The stereo uses Gracenote to pick up CDDB information, so you can put in a CD and it will automatically find the song info, assuming you have it hooked up to your network. It’s wireless network-aware too, which means you can have your computer upstairs play the music that’s stored on your stereo’s hard drive downstairs. You can hook up an iPod (or other player) to it, and it will automatically sync all your songs to its hard drive. So far the price is listed as “upcoming” but I’ve seen reports that the 250GB version will cost about $1000, though the 80GB version will presumably cost less.
