Ready to give up CDs forever? Now you can. Clarion has uppped the ante in the world of car stereos with a deck boasting no moving parts: the FB275BT, a sleek car stereo with just 8 buttons and a volume nob. Music can be sent via an SD memory card which can be inserted by rotating the faceplate forward or through bluetooth, which allows you to connect to your cell phone, PDA or iPod to listen to tunes or talk on the phone.

Based on the “metal shark” concept, Clarion calls the FB275B “the ultimate harmony of function and design.” And it really is pretty sweet looking; and with no moving parts, it’ll probably become outdated before something mechanical goes wrong. One downfall, no AM receiver (that is so 2oth century).
