XM CES Awards
Not to be forgotten, three XM products also won the 2007 Consumer Electronics Show (CES) Innovations Design and Engineering Awards.

The Delphi SkyFi3 satellite radio, the XM Mini-Tuner, and the XM-Ready Bushnell Weather Tracker GPS were among the Innovations 2007 Honorees selected by an independent panel of engineers, designers and journalists.

The SkyFi3 and XM Mini-Tuner were honored in the Mobile Audio category, and the XM-Ready Bushnell was recognized in the Wireless Peripherals category.

We're already pretty familiar with the SkyFi3 and XM Mini-Tuner, but the Bushnell Weather Tracker may be a bit of a mystery to some (myself included). The Bushnell ONIX400CR Weather Tracker GPS is a portable handheld device that offers XM Radio, XM WX Satellite Weather, and GPS all in one fancy device - and that's about all we know. More to come on that one soon.

T-2 Tuner
Geared toward the custom A/V market, the new Nexus Audio T-2 Tuner is both an XM Satellite Radio as well as an AM/FM tuner.

Housed in the "1U" chassis, the T-2 Dual Tuner is designed to communicate with the Nexus Audio C-6 A/V controllers through the "Feature" port connection. This in turn displays all of the tuner information, including channel name, artist and song title on the LCD displays on the K-8 or K-22 keypads.

Nexus Audio says they're the first Canadian manufacturer to receive approval to produce an XM-Ready tuner.
