Sony's new toy -- you just gotta have it!
It's the new Sony Digital Relay, and it's so cool I can't stand it. From a review:
It's a CD-RW drive that doubles as an audio-CD player. The $399 Digital Relay--available from Sony later in March and in retail stores in April--records to CD-Recordable and CD-Rewritable at 4X, and reads CDs at 24X. And if that's not enough to get your attention, the Digital Relay can also play CDs jammed with MP3 files. Though the Digital Relay is priced at about $100 more than most portable USB CD-RW drives, its cost is less than the combined prices of a CD-RW drive and an MP3-capable CD player.
You can either hook this thing up to your laptop via USB and read or write some CDs with it, or you can unplug it and use it as a standalone, portable CD or CD-MP3 player. I will buy this, and then my life will be bliss (...or something approximating bliss... at least for a few days until the cool wears off, or until it breaks).
