Even though we announced the unveiling of Sirius' new XACT ReGo unit two days ago, we weren't able to get any good product shots of it until now.
The key feature of the XACT ReGo Record-and-Go unit is it's recording capability. Because it stores your data on removable flash cards, you're not constricted by an internal harddrive's available space. If you want to buy a huge flash card to save more of your own content - you can. Sorta neat.
One thing to note is that while you can download and play MP3s on the ReGo, the Sirius Content that's downloaded is NOT saved in MP3 format saved separately from the flash card part of the player (thanks to all who pointed out that correction) - in an attempt to prevent ripping of Sirius content.
Note: From the information we've gathered, this is NOT a wearable device (like the MyFi or other XM2go units). Meaning you cannot plug in headphones and walk around with the thing. Larry Pesce (Sirius' Senior VP Product Development and Strategic Planning) specifically was asked this at the press event at CES and he said plans to release a 'wearable' device available in the future. He also said that the ReGo was specifically a "plug and play" unit. The ReGo is only as 'portable' as the Xtr1 is. Just wanted to make that clear.
