Panasonic's new SV-SD800N, or "D-snap," digital audio player features a high-quality noise-cancelling function that allows you to listen to music at a reasonable level without intrusion of outside sounds. If this proves to be true, we'll have one less thing to fret about (if it even makes its way to this country) on our morning subway commutes--screaming, ranting lunatics, other people's (max-volume blasting) terrible taste in music, and our own near-deafness, brought on by the pursuit of blocking everyone else out.
