Must be very depressing for you this Christmas Booble Struble. I went
to a very busy Best Buy yesterday. People everywhere. Products and
displays flashing here and there. Lots of technology in the air.
Sound and noise from every direction. But….. What’s this? NO HD
RADIO ANYWHERE. NOTHING.

More to the point - were there ANY radios at all? How many AM/FM/CD
boomboxes? How many AM/FM/SW portables? How many MP3 players with at
least an FM tuner?

20 years ago there would have been a decent section of radios. 40 years
ago a very large section of radios. 60 years ago even small towns had
entire stores that sold only radios.

Now there *might* be a couple of shelves of pocket/headphone style radios,
and few boomboxes. See a pattern here?

The point is HD radios were nowhere. Not integrated into any digital
product, Cell phone, iPod, BoomBox, MP3 player, SatRadio, nothing.
Much to Strubles dismay. Not even in car radios. Don't kill yourself
just yet though Struble. 2009 could be worse!

iBiquity, do you feel left out this Christmas?
