Associated Press Not Impressed By MyFi

Posted by timothy on from the like-musical-mannah-except-not dept.

prostoalex writes "Michael Regan from the Associated Press started reviewing MyFi, a portable satellite radio receiver, by treating it as a competitor to iPod, but then admitted the two devices are quite different. For $350 and a $10-a-month subscription the buyer gets access to XM satellite radio stations and ability to record the stream to 128 MB of built-in flash. There's no way to transfer the recorded content to the computer or vice versa. The review recommends waiting for lower price and better features."

    Take away clear channel, infinity, right wing hate radio, religious stations, hip-hop and ethnic stations and there isn't much left. Not even in a major radio market.

    In an area with 50 stations receivable a person is lucky to find one well programmed on that meets their tastes.

    I have Sirius sat radio at home and there are several music channels that I like on it, it has music for just about everyone. Without commercials.
