Mais um exemplo de convergência e conectividade no carro

«Currently at hdradio.com, there are just over 600 stations currently listed. Although they are all FM stations at this point, I was assured that this would work for AM as well, which would make listening to sports on the radio (which are usually broadcast on an AM station) much more dynamic to listen to. And yes, after going to hddice.com (they make HD Radio for cars) and checking out the listings there for my state, there were indeed AM radio stations on their list. Of the remaining 12,500 or so radio stations in the US, 3000 are committed to converting to HD Radio, so if the stations where you are haven't converted yet, there's a good chance they will soon. So is it worth it? Well, if you're buying a BMW, Mini Cooper,  Toyota, Lexus, or Scion, you can just get one from Dice Electronics installed from the factory (the major American car makers haven't hopped on board just yet). And the Dice models also come with an iPod interface, so you can have AM, FM, HD, and your own personal music collection all available through a single in-dash unit. The average home unit appears to be running around $300 right now.»
