Sangeanʼs new DT-600HD AM/HD FM Personal Receiver is pocket-size
and gives you access to many local HD Radio stations with crystal-clear digital sound. Up until now, manufacturers have resisted including analog or digital AM in HD Radio portables, citing the difficulty and expense of getting good reception with a small antenna, but the DT-600 and the DT-800 coming in October have addressed the issues.
Prices have not been announced.

South Korea’s Cydle, which builds in-car multimedia systems, promises to introduce its newest handheld entertainment device. The Cydle P29A is a multimedia player that also integrates subscription-free Mobile DTV and an HD Radio tuner. The device will be one of the first to bring the ATSC-created standard to the US in a non-phone device.
The P29 will display video on its 2.9″ touchscreen. Its processor is an ARM9 CPU and it is expected to be available in 4GB and 8GB versions when it is released in the Spring.
Cydle is looking to sell these things for $199. The P29 has an accelerometer to allow you to re-orient for landscape viewing, and the 480 MHz processor runs on something called the Nucleus OS. It has stereo Bluetooth, so you’ll be able to set this thing up in your car and control it with your mobile phone. The P29 will come with some preloaded software, including a world clock, alarm, stopwatch, voice recorder, mic, and calculator.

Altec Lansing iM414v2 for Zune HD
Finding speakers for your Zune device is no easy task,because at the moment there simply aren’t that many options. However, there is some good news; I just got a hold of the Altec Lansing inMotion IM414V2 portable speakers, and was pleasantly surprised. Altec is certainly no newcomer to Zune products, with the M604 , and iM414v1 previously released and it’s evident in the quality of the iM414v2.
