Cambridge SoundWorks Ships HD Radio
The SoundWorks Radio 820HD was originally slated to ship last November: The $300 radio has no characteristics that I can see that warrant the price other than the current high price of HD Radio receivers. One expects that the speakers are of a higher quality than the RadioShack Accurian HD Radio, about which BusinessWeek just gave an extremely poor review. The 820HD from SoundWorks is probably closest to Boston Acoustics's $300 Receptor Radio HD. It does have an integral FM antenna (like the Sangean HD model), and acts as a alarm clock radio.

The Cambridge Soundworks radio sounds great. You have to find the loudness control and turn it on to get a nice boost in both bass and treble, which turns the radio from so-so sound to really, really good sound. The deal killer for me: WAY to bright display keeps it from actually being used as a clock radio, and the included antennas don't work that great for good HD reception. Works great with a house antenna, though.
