	You might be refering to the CD/I to probably be released 1991. It
will run OS/9, 256 colors at 384x240, real time video decompression, 1 600MG
cd player.  It has CD quality sound, a 10MHZ 68000, and is made by Phillips(?).

	Supposedly this will be sold as a household appliance such as a VCR.
And yes, the price tag is around $1000.  
	
Bye,
