i dont see why you say that satelite radio cant be used abroad because you can get a satelite signal anywhere on this planet. Also, it would be possible to remove the hard drive and replace it with a satelite receiver, possibly resulting in an ever smaller iPod. It is true that it might suck out the battery life from the iPod, which has always been an issue. The battery life might stay the same since it wouldnt have to power a hard drive
that is absolutely not true that digital AM and FM will be able to even remotely compete with satelite radio. Satelite radio offers so many more channels and a great variety, such as comedy, every different genre of music, and talk shows. Just because radio is going digital, you will still only get local stations, and it will still be full of commercials.
