5000 Songs on the Road and at Home - Hard Disk-Based Music Server for ALL Cars

SANTA CLARA, Calif., Aug. 28 -- Perception Digital today unveils its latest hard disk-based music server solution, the PD Hercules Car Jukebox.

"Now you can drive from San Francisco to New York for 6 times without repeating the same song," said Dr. Jack Lau, CEO of Perception Digital. "What's more is that the detachable hard drive can be used as an auxiliary music server at home."

The PD Hercules Jukebox comes with a standard 20 Gbyte trunk mountable hard drive and a sleek navigation unit. That is roughly about 300 hours of music.

The rugged unit also comes with a very unique feature that allows users to convert any audio source -- driver's voice, radio station program, car CD music -- into MP3. This encoding technology enables a driver, for instance, to easily record thousands of voice memos on the road, and then to email them back to colleagues and friends at home and in the office.

Manufacturer suggested retail price is $399. Pre-order is available now on www.perceptiondigital.com.

Perception Digital is a Hong Kong-based company whose product, the PD Hercules, has been featured in articles by the New York Times and voted the "Best Buy" by Wired Magazine recently.
