the new Sirius Wearable Receiver? Over the weekend, SIRIUS.com got a very nice redesign, and a photo appeared on the homepage that has caused quite a bit of buzz in the online community. The boys over at Sirius Backstage were able to snap off a screenshot of the possible live SIRIUS wearable unit before it was taken down later in the day, replaced by a photo of earbuds.

Much speculation abounds that this is a SIRIUS equipped Dell DJ - and while it definitely isn't the harddrive based DJ (which was killed recently) - there is a slight possibility it's a flash-based since the Dell Ditty remains. Still, Dell does have a long standing relationship with XM, so it's hard to see them flipping the script like that.

My opinion? I'm betting that the pictured unit is an Archos... I dunno, let's just call it a hunch. (*cough* EchoStar *cough*)

Whether or not this is in fact the new SIRIUS portable - dubbed the "Bellagio" after the hotel is was privately shown at - it's also rumored that this device will be unveiled tomorrow in conjunction with SIRIUS' Q1 conference call. Though the hardware announcements may be limited to only the new Sportster. I guess we only have a day to find out.
