Best Buy Releases Insignia NS-HD01 HD Radio Portable Player

Are you ready for HD Radio? Best Buy believes in the future of HD digital radio broadcasting and will be the first to release the Insignia NS-HD01 HD Radio Portable Player exclusively at Best Buy stores for $49.99. HD Radio technology enables FM and AM radio stations to broadcast programs digitally, making for crystal clear reception with no audio distortion, and it's free just like regular radio. You'll need an HD Radio, and that's where this new Insignia HD Radio comes in. It's the the first-ever portable HD Radio player on the market, but that won't last long as other companies will be releasing their own devices with built-in HD Radio receivers (Zune HD) soon.

The Insignia NS-HD01 HD Radio has a built-in rechargeable Lithium-ion battery, 3.5 mm jack output, and a full-color LCD screen for selecting programs and preset stations. It also comes with an armband.
