For anyone following
Orbitcast on Twitter, you've already read
my remarks that there is virtually no presence of Sirius XM Radio Inc. at the Consumer Electronics Show this year.
It's disappointing, to say the least, especially since this is the second year in a row that Sirius XM's showing
has been minimized.
It's even more disappointing because this year didn't even have
external signage like last year, or even a
more intimate showcase (this year, the Bellagio presence has been pared down to private meeting space with partners).
But it's not all doom-and-gloom, there definitely was a good display at the Audiovox booth. And I think Sirius XM's presence (or lack thereof) can actually be logically justified.
CES 2010 is now over and I'm still working through the pile of stuff I came home with (there's a few more posts in the queue, so stay tuned), but I wanted to take this opportunity to do a little reflecting on Sirius XM's presence at the show.
Last year at CES 2009, we saw the HD Radio chip get smaller and this year at CES 2010 we saw how this smaller chip came to fruition.
The new XMP3i isn't really that new more upgraded from the XMP3 than anything else. But the "i" designation will make it a better experience, and an overall better radio, especially for novice users.
Garmin has taken the wraps off its latest product line (some info was actually leaked out a couple days ago) at CES, and included in its new offering is the Garmin Zumo 665 GPS for motorcycles.
