XM Portable Satellite Radio Receiver with Hard Drive

Posted by michael on from the sounding-board dept.

daveplot writes "XM announced today the new XM MyFi. The hand-held MyFi gives users the personal freedom to enjoy XM Radio's Ultimate PlayList of more than 130 digital XM channels in two ways: a 'live' listening mode and a time-shifting "memory" mode. The MyFi's live mode enables users to listen live to all of XM's 68 commercial-free music channels, plus premier news, sports, talk, traffic and weather channels. MyFi's memory mode -- called 'My XM' -- allows users to store five hours or more of XM's outstanding content with the press of a button, even when the unit is not in use. The MyFi makes it possible to enjoy XM Satellite Radio anywhere, anytime, effortlessly. More information is at XM411.com." We had a story mentioning this a few days ago.

    Yes, and the resultant device would have a battery life of about 15 minutes.

    Maybe apple could make extremely long extension cords fashionable.

    It might work.

    It has an NPR station now. Or at least a "public radio" station. XM 133, "XM Public Radio." Check out the details here . Not sure if it has actual NPR, but it has the WBUR feed which is equally bor-- er, entertaining.
