((( Speculation Alert! )))
So Ted Koppel is finally leaving "Nightline" and sat down for an interview with the New York Times to be published on Sunday. We get a preview of the interview in which he talks about traditional media's challenges, interviews with big shots and, of course, his bad hair.

When asked what's next for Koppel, he refers to Howard Stern's contract with Sirius and specifically says, "it does open all kinds of new possibilities."

It could be a harmless referral to the changing face of the media, but it's also a pretty strong reference to Ted Koppel's plans for his own future without outright saying it. Either way, it's definitely an eyebrow raising comment.

Sirius did mention today at the SunTrust conf that they'll be unveiling a "Wearable Unit" in late 2005 (a fully portable unit - i.e., not the ReGo which is expected in stores on Father's Day. This wearable unit will utilize their new 3G chipset (in production right now) which should start popping up in stores in the fall.

No other details on this wearable unit are available..... yet.
