Satellite radio is without a doubt one of the most cost effective forms of entertainment on the market today.

Think for a minute about the amount of content that Sirius XM Radio makes available to consumers and the price that they are providing it at. It's pretty hard to find any other form of entertainment that can even come close to satellite radio when it comes to getting the most "bang for your buck."

But the amount of features packed into these radios can sometimes be confusing for consumers looking to buy a satellite radio. Have you ever bought a new device only to find out that you could have purchased something that did a lot more for only a few more dollars? I think we all have.

It's with that in mind that I've put together this "Ultimate Guide to Buying a Satellite Radio" to help sort though the confusion.

As new satellite radios come out, I will continuously update this article to provide and maintain a consistent point of reference for anyone looking to buy the best satellite radio receiver possible.

When I first had the chance to play with the XM SkyDock back in August, I boldly stated that Sirius XM Radio "hit the ball right out of the park" with this latest device. I was enamored with the concept of being able to combine my iPhone and a satellite radio in a single neat package.

That was then. The question is, does the sentiment still hold up?

This full in-depth review of the XM SkyDock satellite radio/iPhone dock comes to you after a week of hard testing to find out all the intricate details about it.

But, do I still feel the same about the SkyDock as I did two months ago?

The newly released XM SkyDock was just recently selected as one of Apple's own Staff Picks on their website and is featured on the Apple Store homepage as a result.

I've been reviewing the SkyDock myself for a week now - look for Orbitcast's own in-depth review coming soon.

Thanks Gary!

The new XM SkyDock App for the iPhone/iPod Touch is now available (the icon is in the upper-left of the screenshot above).

Apparently Sirius XM Radio Inc. has decided to release it ahead of what we originally heard was scheduled.

You can download the free App here or check out more screenshots after the jump...

The XM SkyDock won't be available until October 18th, and the iPhone App that makes it work isn't be available until October 11th... but apparently some retailers didn't get the message and started stocking shelves with it.

Let's just hope their sales staff is trained to explain all that to them, before those lucky few consumers try to actually get the device to work.

Hot on the news that the XM SkyDock will be available for shipment soon comes word that the accompaning XM SkyDock iPhone App (screenshot pictured above) is scheduled to be released early next week, according to a source familiar with the matter.

The XM SkyDock - arguably the most anticipated satellite radio receiver this holiday season - is expected to be available for shipment from select retailers on October 18th, according retailer TSS Radio (via SiriusBuzz).

Some retailers have begun taking pre-orders of the SkyDock, including TSS Radio and others like Crutchfield, and (as usual) these orders will be fulfilled in a first-come, first-serve basis.

The new 2010 Lexus ES 350 comes with a series of upgrades: a new front fascia, new taillights, a new upgraded interior, and all-new subscription-based telematics products available on both non navigation-equipped and navigation-equipped vehicles.

Today Sirius XM Radio Inc. introduced the new XM onyX dock-and-play satellite radio receiver. It includes all the features we've come to love with satellite radios, but what sets the onyX apart is it's customizable options and sleek new design.
