The Pioneer AVIC-N2 allows you to take your audio editing to the next level. Definitely something worth checking out, this is a must have all-in-one media editing solution. While this still leaves much to be desired from the media side of things, I feel that it shows us how music is continuing down a digital path.

What will be available say, 4 years from now? Sure, it is fun to speculate. But rather than ponder what could be, I think it is important to keep a watchful eye on what is. This ensures that needed features like the inclusion of a hard drive in the Pioneer AVIC-N2 get left out for no apparent reason.

If you thought the Lowrence GPS was feature-filled, check out this recently-announced high end navigation system from Pioneer. It’ll play MP3, too, but pumped through a 50 watt amplifier, with three preamp outs and onboard EQ. The 6.5″ touchscreen not only displays navigation and point-of-interest data, but you can watch DVDs on it to boot, and it’s motorized, which may not be particularly necessary but it’s sure a nice touch. And of course it’s also an XM satellite radio receiver, allowing you to listen to your choice of some 130 digital channels.
