MyFi, the portable XM radio reciever, is soon to come out...

A portable XM reciever with home and car listening kits:

Along with ticker capabilities and storage of XM transmissions, could this be the next big thing in portable audio?

 

[Seth C]

It would be the first thing to tempt to to get an XM radio. How much does it cost?

 

[Ghost]

Is XM digital radio in the states then?

 

[Matlock]

$350 with all the kit.

 

[Ghost]

At that price im guessing yes.


And in answer to your question. No. Not until it's under $100

Recievers themselves (not the portable setup you see there) are under $100.

Word is out that the MyFi has pretty crummy reception. Future incarnations could be pretty cool, if it weren't for the fact that Sirius is finally catching up by snatching up tons of exclusive property (sports, Stern). Also, there are rumors that Apple's going to intorduct a Sirius iPod. That would probably be the end of the MyFi line right there.

So I'm investing in digital radio, but still feeding the tape converter into my car cassette player?

Related question: Why is it that certain satellite services (like television and Internet) require dishes to be pointed very precisely, while others like these radio devices can just be carried about willy-nilly and work (to some degree)?

 

[ChumsGum]

siriPOD will kick MyFi's ass

Sat radio services use ground repeaters as well as the Sats.

Yet another reason to get XM. I've listened to alot of Stern and I've never really found him funny.

 

[jett]

..XM? Wuzzat?

 

[Tortfeasor]

I got one early this month and love it. I live in Chicago and because of repeaters, i get a great signal pretty much everywhere.

The best thing about XM was the commercial long ago with snoop dogg falling from the sky.
