Here's a few bits and pieces of news to check out, while I get ready some more articles to write...

  • New Verizon LG Chocolate hitting the streets (when will the mobile industry learn that a 3.5mm jack is absolutely a necessity?) [Engadget]
  • Album sales are down 15% already this year, while digital music sales are up 49% (gee, who saw that coming?) [New York Times]
  • The music industry wants terrestrial to pay for play (wanna know why? see above) [BusinessWeek]
  • Will Sirius miss its subscriber target? Janco seems to think so. [24/7 Wall St]
  • XM's John Zellner is the cover story for FMQB's eQB (and he really needs to update his headshot) [FMQB]
  • Sirius/XM Merger to provide substantial upside potential (one of the most detailed pro-merger articles I've seen in a long time) [Seeking Alpha]

Another genius at Seeking Alpha.

He loves Sirius since it cash flowed in Q4. He conveniently failed to mention the massive Q1 operating cash burn (compared with XM's).

Oh, yeah, and we get the same old BS line about billions and billions in cost savings -- again, conveniently failing to provide ANY detail, whatsoever, as to how such savings might actually be achieved.
