Sanyo MAJ-U02 Boombox
Sanyo has made the unusual decision of releasing the MAJ-U02, a boombox that merges old technology with new. The silver boombox is capable of playing media dating back to cassette tapes but also includes an SD card reader and a USB port for reading MP3s from flash drives, iPods, and other external storage. Formats in between are handled by a CD player and a digitally-controlled FM radio tuner. An optical audio output will also stream whatever might be playing to a larger home stereo.
Amazon UK lists the Sanyo portable as shipping now for $253 -- American availability, however, is unknown. [via Coolest Gadgets]
