    This is the type of thing that peaks my interest in satellite radio and definately toward XM. A little pricey right now at $350.

    Didn't someone post here earlier that it got really bad reception?

    I've heard rumblings that Apple has been talking about finding a way to integrate satellite radio into the iPod. If that happens... :eek:

    I was thinking about buying it, but the reviews have been average at best. I'll wait a bit, but love the concept!

    It's not all it's cracked up to be. I want to get another XM or Sirius unit for my cube at work which sits next to a window, but there's no guarantee I'll get good reception there. If that's true, I know there's no way in hell you can guarantee good reception from that little thing.

    Nice idea, but I don't think it's ready for primetime yet.

    This thing sucks ballz.

    Try getting reception on this as you walk through a wooded park, or through your home, or your office.

    Typical XM hyperbole. The reception is spotty as ass.
