Pioneer DVJ-X1 DJ Turntable
It was only a matter of time before somebody invented a way to do vinyl-style DJ scratching on a DVD. Pioneer's DVJ-X1 lets you scratch, loop and reverse video from a DVD while the soundtrack stays synched up. (It'll handle CDs, too.) Since DJs normally join two turntables with a mixer, Pioneer still has to devise a new sort of mixer, one that can shift sound and video back and forth.
Price and availability: $3,299; Spring 2004

Sony Hi-MD Player/Recorder
Although MiniDisc player/recorders are more common than most people realize, they haven't gotten much respect, especially next to the more glamorous MP3 players. Sony's hoping to change that with Hi-MD, a 1GB MiniDisc that can hold up to 45 hours of compressed digital audio. Player/recorders will start at $200, but Hi-MD discs will cost just $7, so expanding memory won't mean trashing your device.
Price and availability: $200 to $400; April 2004
