Wanna know why it’s called the Delphi Roady XT? Because this thing is eXtra Thin baby (get it? Roady + X + T = RoadyXT) holy shizzle my dizzle. This is the smallest ever satellite radio unit. Orbitcast first wrote about the RoadyXT back in early June and gave hints on it’s release date when we got word it would be in October - well, it seems we were wrong - the release date will actually be in September! The RoadyXT will also cost only $99.95, making it not only tiny but also affordable.

The Delphi RoadyXT is filled with features in that small package though. Like a built-in FM transmitter that will allow you to broadcast up to 100 frequencies. The display is nice too, with lots of backlit colors to choose from (and with funky names like “Orchid” and “Arctic” - Ooooo..). Backlit keys and a higher brightness and contrast than the previous Roady make it shure look purty too.

The only disappointment with this thing is the two-line display (of course, the Audiovox Xpress makes up for that with a 5-line display). But, in addition to the channel name, artist name, and song title, the display does have a customizable sports ticker that displays the latest scores and schedules and a customizable stock ticker for up to 20 stock symols, and of course the popular TuneSelect feature, which alerts the listener when favorite songs and artists are played on any XM channel.

…and more pics after the jump.
