It would seem to me in this burgeoning digital on the go age that any device that would combine more than one of these offerings would be explosively popular. If, say, the iPod were to incorporate a sat radio receiver into it, it seems like that would be a very good marriage for the device. Now some say that there would be a subscription conflict. That people would opt for the sat radio content (since listening to it is paid for by the subscription fee) over the bought music files from iTunes. But, I think it would be a much more complimentary arrangement. I mean radios and cd players in cars have been a good marriage for years. Sometimes people want to just kick back and let someone else play the music and maybe hear a hot new tune they want to buy! Other times they want to play that hot new tune they just bought over and over. So I see the marriage of the most popular digital music player and the fastest growing sat radio company as a win win. The real stickler is how much of each others pies do the two parties get?
