Time Shifting Radio

Griffin Technologies is bringing out a device named Radio Shark, which does for radio what TIVO does to television. (If you don't know what TIVO is, you're missing the best thing to happen to TV since color. www.tivo.com) Working only with a Mac, it's a USB device that has a software interface for the fin shaped radio and antenna, allowing you to record, pause and store radio programs.

So when you want to reach for that rewind button on your radio, now you can. When you don't want to miss that favorite program on your public radio station (That's a shameless promotion for WUWM, Milwaukee Public Radio, where I'm on the Community Advisory Board) you don't have to miss it. Just program your computer to catch it and store it. You can also transfer the recording to a device like an iPod, or any other AIFF capable player.

I wonder what the legal issues are with this one.

The device is not yet released, but watch the site for updates. Expected price point is $69.00.
