PopCatcher Catches FM Radio So You Don’t Have To

On the surface, it’s just a decent looking FM radio with a dock at the top for connecting the included MP3 player, presumably for recording music directly to the portable. That alone wouldn’t be particularly interesting, since there are a number of digital audio players that record FM radio. Where PopCatcher differs, however, is with its ability to distinguish between music and commercials, station IDs and DJ chatter.

Do anybody knows when/where this is available in the US? All good songs are promoted first on the radio and I want those songs.

Christina, if you click the link I put in the post, there’s a “contact” page on the site that will let you sign up to receive sales information.

I got the feedback from a “Rickard Berg” at the popcatcher company that the musicdock is not available in the US yet. And, even worse, that they might not sell the product here for a while.
What about globalisation…? I want now… ;-(
(Thanks for the link, Josh G!)

The REAL innovation of PopCatcher is the embedded technology found in the MusicDock MD-601. It has awesome potential, especially in the mobile and automotive markets. Integrating this embedded app. in PMPs, mobile phones, or in your car is where this technology is gonna shine. We represent PopCatcher as a sales representative for their embedded technologies . Check out our blog post at http://www.designwin.net for more discussions on PopCatcher.

Hey,
I got an email from PopCatcher. Christina is right: the current MD-601 is available in Europe but will not be sold in the US.
However, their team is developing a new product “that will better suit the Americans’ needs” and that will be released in 2 months.
I wonder if it will be the same docking station, but meant to dock iPods instead of this ugly mp3 players… Answer in half a year!

If this thing can be made for my iPod, then I believe it is worth waiting for!!! (although this means I have no real reason to travel to europe now…)
Does anybody else know about their coming products. Pictures?
