There was supposed to be a Tivoli "Model HD" arriving "late fall 2006":

There were some press releases on it at the Tivoli web site, but now all
I can find is a photograph of the prototype:

No other word in any forum I could find, this after slipping the
estimated ship date by almost 2 quarters now.

Not that I would have bought one for Christmas. My Model One is working
just fine (with external antennas) for me. No price was ever announced,
but I figure that the estimated MSRP was creeping over $300, which was
probably one motivation to shelve it indefinitely.

If I had a spare $300+ to spend on new audio equipment, I would probably
get a Roku Soundbridge R1000 instead:

as there would probably be a much wider selection of programming.
