Griffin Technology's RadioSHARK is an AM/FM radio receiver designed to plug into your computer via USB to enable radio recording and PVR-like "time-shifting" of programs.

Griffin won Best of Show at Macworld in 2003 for the RadioSHARK, but it's been a no-show ever since. Unfortunately, "available for pre-order" and "shipping soon" on the Web site does not equal product availability.

Update: Griffin began shipping its "long-awaited" RadioSHARK on September 29, 2004.

Now Cult of Mac notes that Jason O'Grady has captured one of the mythical creatures. Follow this link for his review.

Speaking as a radio fanatic, I really hope the shark surfaces soon. I would love to be able to record CBC programs to my hard drive for later playback on my iPod (especially since Cross-Country Checkup stopped offering its archive in MP3 format).
