I have a ReplayTV. The thing that’s great about the ReplayTV is that whenever someone walks into the room and starts blabbing, I can just pause my show or skip back a few seconds when they are done talking. Same goes for times when I am reading an email and miss an important part of the show….I just hit the replay button a few times and I’m good to go.

Lately, I’ve found myself reaching for a “replay” button on my car stereo, only to realize that of course, there is no such button! I guess I’m just spoiled…or maybe it’s ReplayTV syndrome or something. It got me thinking though, why not put a cheap memory chip in car stereos that buffers radio? Five minutes of buffering would be enough. I could listen to that great new song a second time, or I could replay the traffic report that I couldn’t pay attention to because I was changing lanes and was devoting my attention to the road. Was that rolled car blocking 2 lanes of traffic on 680 or 880? Just hit the REPLAY button….if only!

So c’mon sony/alpine/kenwood/whoever, give me a car stero with a replay button…and HTFU already!
