JVC's portable HD recorder

It ain't cheap, but JVC is releasing a portable high-definition player/recorder designed for playing back video recorded with their HDTV camcorders, the GR-HD1 and the JY-HD1. The CU-VH1 has a small 3.5-inch LCD for reviewing footage while in the field, but can also be hooked up to any high-def or standard-def monitor (if you don't wanna have to squint while watching those tapes of your family vacation) and has a few other neat features like an SD memory card slot for saving JPEGs captured from video clips. The one thing it can't do is record directly off of a digital TV set-top box, probably because the networks would totally freak out at the prospect of people being able to make perfect digital copies of their shows.
