You can read can't you Frontmed? Read the damn feature list and the
list of goodies that come with this most technologically advanced
satellite radio. Slow down on the bashing and read for once. You are

LMAO If you think adding Wi-Fi is Leapfrog technology, then you need to
have another drink. If you go back a few months to all our discussions
of Wi-Fi, you will see that it is a waste of time to even try to
consider using it. At best, this is Sirius's attempt to catch up to XM,
years later. It's great to see they have finally gotten a portable unit
that can compare to the Inno. But superior content? No. Superior
technology? Probably not. They have the failure of the S50 behind
anything they do so people will not be as excited to pick up a first
generation portable unit right away. The first thing I did when I saw
your post was call a friend of mine who loves Sirius to tell him it will
be out soon, and he was less than enthusiastic because of the problems
he had with the S50. I hope the black mark can be removed with this unit
so that Sirius fans will finally have a working device, but the people I
know with Sirius do not have their hopes up yet.

I have no problem with the WiFi as a gimmick and I'm sure XM will add it, as
well. But the effect on the units battery life is the concern -- SIRI's
chipset apparently continues to be very power hungry, and having to have
WiFi to make up for poor reception is just one more drain. In addition, the
device presumably shares a significant amount of code with the S50, which
was quite buggy -- the integration of WiFi comes at an increased risk of
significant problems in this area.

That they can only get 4 hours with an add-on battery pack is nothing short
of alarming, as they should have moved beyond this point. Also, assuming
they used the same battery technology as the S50, it is an expensive battery
which will either increase SACs or set a floor on what they can be sold for.

Finally, we haven't seen just how big this device is yet -- you really can't
tell from the photos, but the handheld prototype Mel had looked pretty big.

It is a great advance for Sirius -- IF they can get it out before XMAS. But
nothing about it represents "leapfrog" technology. They are still well more
than a year behind in this arena, even after throwing everything they had at
this project.

I'm thinking you could use some XANAX. Or some time behind bars. Not sure
which.

14 hours of WiFi is actually an interesting feat if you look at
TMobile's UMA test which is yielding about 3-4 hours if memory serves
and under a day standby time on cell phones. I'm actually impressed
with that aspect of it and I'm comfortable with 4 hours of listening
from the sky, though 5-6 would've been better.

However, I am concerned that Crutchfield is saying it would stream from
the website for the WiFi portion of the journey. I would think it'd
make more sense just to put PAC streams of every channel online, and
then the user experience isn't changed or degraded compared to the sat
feed. Perhaps Crutchfield is mistaken, but they must've gotten their
material from somewhere.

I do not believe this shares anything with the S50 directly... The UI
definitely looks very similar to the ZING interface debuted earlier in
the year. Odds are this unit has been designed from the ground up to
work with the ZING architecture. I'm more comfortable with this than
the previous software design as ZING has a lot of history in its people
when it comes to making great things.

I don't think the handheld prototype looked that big, looked on par
with the S50, perhaps slightly bigger, which means it's around the size
of my SonyEricsson cell phone. I wouldn't want it to be too small that
I'd lose it, but also don't want it to be the size of my DishDVR
remote.

So far the rumors are saying sometime this upcoming month. Obviously
someone leaked early, but I expect an announce in the next week or so.

If I can work something out cheaply then I may get one, but I'm not
very comfortable getting rid of my S50 investment, especially when it
does more than I need it to and I've had no problems with it.

And this is by far the best satelite radio has to offer right
now....And Wi- Fi is an incredible feature to have been added

It's like dealing with Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde.

Wi-Fi is not an incredible feature. Try using a hand held device with
Wi-Fi access while walking around.. This thing is going to be trying to
stream music over a wi-fi connection all while the device is moving. It
will be dropping out and re-buffering the stream every time the signal
gets low or decides to crap out for 2 seconds. Like we all discussed
before, city-wide wi-fi is less than ideal and probably will be like
that for a long time. While it may be "cool" it's certainly not an
incredible blow the competition out of the water feature.

And let's not forget, it isn't even available yet. Why don't we wait and
see how well it works before saying it's going to leapfrog over anything
else.

That remains to be seen. Live reception is an hour less, recorded
playback (either of sat content or mp3s) is much longer than the Inno.
I only do recorded playback in my office, where there is no sat
reception. Anywhere I travel outside my office has great live
reception (including inside my home), so I only use the playback
feature at work.

That's a matter of taste.

Now, I have a question about the accessories with the Stiletto. I
recall lots of discussion from the Siriots how dorky antenna headsets
were, but necessary for clear reception of XM -- despite the fact that
I've never owned or used a set for either my MyFi or my Inno, never
needed to. I recall the slant used to be that this type of dorkiness
was never going to be needed for Sirius. Yet, in the forum thread you
point to, there are Sirius subscribers revelling in the fact that
Sirius feels they are so important to reception that they're included
in the package. Some leapfrog -- those who wouldn't be caught dead
with dorky antenna headsets are now going to get a set (whether they
want to or not) if they buy this unit. So, does that make the headsets
cool because they're Sirius dorky headsets rather than XM dorky
headsets? And will anyone rail against dorky antenna headsets in this
NG ever again? Sorry. I couldn't resist. I've been holding that one
back for as long as I could.

This is a fact -- there were many here raising hell with XM for "needing"
the antenna headset, and claiming that "when Sirius does it, they'll do it
RIGHT". Well, we'll see.

They really may be setting themselves up for a support nightmare with the
WiFi, as people try to use the these devices in all different environments.
They'll not understand why they can get great wireless service at the
Holiday Inn on their laptop but nothing on the Sirius unit. They'll be
confused about secured vs. unsecured networks. And potential compatibility
issues with the new generation of wireless/n devices on top of it.

A four hour battery life, when you have to carry a spare even to get that,
is going to get bashed in the reviews. And until we see the actual
dimensions, it is going to be hard to know just how competitive these will
be.

The WiFi is a cute touch, but I fear it will create more problems than it
solves at this point in time. I do think it could serve a nice purpose in
allowing for uploads to the mp3 player -- something all mp3 players ought to
be doing soon.

2GB is better than 1, obviously. I would expect XM to quickly go to 2 or 4
in the Innos.

All I mentioned was that the antenna needs to be on top of the head to
keep the body from blocking the signal (The Franken Effect), and
therefore the headphones with the antenna should be shipped with every
unit.

For starters, you just ripped on me for shilling for XM and then asked
me to list a message where you have shilled for anyone... We'll just
assume your high again and ignore that request.

And again, it can't leapfrog if it is never released, so let's just wait
and see if it does actually hit the market. Then we'll wait and see if
it actually works. Plus, everyone already knows that with the current
feature set, the best it can do is be on equal footing of XM's current
hardware. But that is if, and only if, it works properly.

Now get off your mom and join the real world.

Same reason you are saying it's leapfrogging XM's hardware? Plus, I was
originally responding to you saying it was the best satellite radio has

look at their track record with hardware.... Not the best in the
industry is it?

The Pee-Wee dance to "Tequila" still kills.

Thanks Monkey, should I ever need the services of AA, now I know where
to research information. I must say you are very knowledgeable when it
comes to mental disorders. Experienced? I think so.

No Rich, I know how to use the Internet to do quick research for
information. You should figure it out so you can get yourself some help.
