Re: [Swprograms] OT: XM Satellite "Walkman" Radio Review

[John Figliozzi <jfiglio1@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I got a good look at one of these in a local store and it does feel 
good in the hand.  It's early days, though, and the $350 price is a bit 
of a barrier.  Sirius is also emerging with a "handheld" that is 
somewhat bulkier than this one and without the digital recording 
capability (which is a nice touch, btw).  The XTR-1 Stream Jockey and 
associated battery sells for about $130 less, however, and is made by 
an outfit called Xact.  I understand after the next generation or two 
of products, a receiver capable of receiving both XM and Sirius is to 
be on offer.  For now, more heat reduction, lesser power needs and 
further miniaturization are targets on the drawing boards.
