So we all know that the Sirius Stiletto borrows its WiFi infrastructure from the Zing Player, so the next burning question is how the two stack up next to each other. Well, the folks at Gizmodo got an exclusive tour of the Zing player at yesterday's DEMO conference.
The verdict? It actually seems like they liked the Zing better. Granted, it doesn't have live satellite radio reception like it's bigger brother, but they gave the Zing the thumbs up for a better interface.
Check out the write-up for youself. They have a bunch of pics too.

Not whole-heartedly praising the Stiletto? Are you trying to anger the Hoo-Hoo-Zombies?

Question about streaming radio.
With the Zing you can stream all internet radio + Sirius?
And with the Stiletto you can stream Sirius Internet Radio, but thats it?

I don't think the thing on the right is for sale. I think it's a mockup demo unit that they use to demonstrate the Zing Interface.
Not to say they may not offer something like this later in time, but from what I've been told, the Stiletto is the only known Zing-enabled device at this time.
