iPod Satellite in the news
Combine the iPod with Satellite Radio, and you get "the killer ap" - that's the premise of this ground-breaking article on CNN Money. In a feature that can only be called - "super" - CNN Money delves into the wacky crazy thought of Satellite Radio being combined with the iPod (who'da thunk it?!).
First, we throw around Sirius being in talks with Steve Jobs, then we name-drop Sony and Motorola. Oh, but wait, let's just add Creative and Dell into the mix (just so we get picked up by all the newswires) and then let's come with the fantasic insight that XM has been chit-chatting with these folks as well. Oh my!
No wait, hold on, let's have the true dose of wisdom we all need. Ready for it? Ready? Hold on to your seats kids, cause here it is. And I quote...
"Everyone's talking to everyone,"
WOOHOO! Shit. There goes the doubts I had. Here I thought that no one was talking to anyone. Could XM or SIRIUS have come up with partnering with an MP3 player on their own??? naaahhh.. that's just too stinkin' smart.
Oh right, anyway.
We continue to babble on about how Satellite Radio + MP3 is inevitable. But then we flip-flop and say that satrad technology is too big (oh yeah, it's friggin huge). Then we flippidy-flop again and say that a wireless iPod is the natural evolution, and XM/SIRIUS provide the best infrastructure. But then we flip-flop yet again and profess about how Apple definitely has something up their sleave such as a subscription product.
In the end, we learn nothing. Gotta love the media. (sigh)

I think Ipod and Satellite radio is a dumb combination. I mean you have this satellite radio that gets just about every friggin genre availavle you have constant music blaring that you love, why would you even care about Mp3 capabilities? Besided Sirius has something coming out soon from Xact that plays mp3's but I dont believe it's portable. This sucker records also, that is a kickass feature for us that love talk radio but unfortunatly have to work.
