Portable Internet Radio to take on XM?

TheDude writes "A friend who works for a design company attended the Australian EDN awards last night and was impressed with one of the winners, in the wireless category, which was won by Grey Innovation for their Infusion device . It's a Linux based portable internet radio that streams Internet Radio over WiFi. Is this the future of Radio? Given the big push by XM and Sirus , the potential of Podcasting and now the "inFusion", in which direction is mass-audio-broadcast heading? And why isn't anyone really pushing Digital Audio Broadcast (DAB), like they have in the UK ?"

    Wow, can't believe it took until the second reply to point out the quality of US music. FWIW, the only decent music comes out of the UK: Eric Clapton, Beatles, Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, etc, etc.
