Yowzers. We just can't get enough of the upcoming Xact ReGo (Record-and-Go) Sirius satellite radio unit.

Here's a new product shot of the Xact ReGo Boombox. Yep, and the hi-res version is even cooler.

Can't wait to get our hands on this device. Xact Communications has seriously turned up the drool factor here.

Orbitcast was the first to give you photos of the new Xact ReGo (Record-and-Go), now we got our hands on another angled shot of the new portable plug-and-play unit for Sirius Satellite Radio.

Note the headphone jack on the side of the unit. We've contacted Sirius and are getting all the details on exactly how this thing works, but we do have an official statement that this is not a 'wearable' device. Orbitcast is trying hard to entice a ReGo unit for review from Sirius (we're pretty eager to play with this thing). Keep checking for more details as they come in.

Note to all the message boards:
Please try not to directly link to the image. I don't mind spreading the word, but my bandwidth costs are starting to get nutty. Be kind and just link to this article.
Thanks all!

Even though we announced the unveiling of Sirius' new XACT ReGo unit two days ago, we weren't able to get any good product shots of it until now.

The key feature of the XACT ReGo Record-and-Go unit is it's recording capability. Because it stores your data on removable flash cards, you're not constricted by an internal harddrive's available space. If you want to buy a huge flash card to save more of your own content - you can. Sorta neat.

One thing to note is that while you can download and play MP3s on the ReGo, the Sirius Content that's downloaded is NOT saved in MP3 format saved separately from the flash card part of the player (thanks to all who pointed out that correction) - in an attempt to prevent ripping of Sirius content.

Note: From the information we've gathered, this is NOT a wearable device (like the MyFi or other XM2go units). Meaning you cannot plug in headphones and walk around with the thing. Larry Pesce (Sirius' Senior VP Product Development and Strategic Planning) specifically was asked this at the press event at CES and he said plans to release a 'wearable' device available in the future. He also said that the ReGo was specifically a "plug and play" unit. The ReGo is only as 'portable' as the Xtr1 is. Just wanted to make that clear.

UPDATE:
More information on the ReGo has been released - check it out here.

Sirius just announced at CES that it will be adding an instant replay feature to the Sportster - Sirius' number #1 selling transportable ?Plug & Play? radio.

The redesigned Sportster IR (for "Instant Replay" - go figure) will be capable of recording up to 44 minutes of programming simultaneously while a subscriber is listening to satellite radio, enabling the listener to pause the unit and return to where the programming left off.

The Sportster IR will be compatible with existing Sirius Sportster boom boxes, car and home kits.

The new unit is expected to ship to retail stores in the middle of this year. Pricing and a photo isn't available at this time. As soon as I get a pic, I'll update this entry.

Sirius Satellite Radio unveiled today at the Consumer Electronics Show its smallest satellite radio yet, called the Star Mate.

Star Mate (which is about the size of a deck of cards) is a transportable ?Plug & Play? unit that can be used in vehicles, boats and homes. Featuring a three-line full display, the six-ounce Sirius Starmate has 30 presets and a built-in wireless FM transmitter with 100 frequencies.

Star Mate, including both home and vehicle adapter kits, is available for just $129.95 - upgrade your current Plug-and-Play Sirius unit to the sleak Star Mate today.

Good size, 3-line display, competitive price - nice.

UPDATE: We just got a nice big photo of the Star Mate. Check it out here.
