XM has a new solution for bringing your XM radio around with you. Instead of lugging around the insanely ugly XM Car/Home receivers, your XM information is stored in a tiny chip dubbed the "XM Passport". The Passport works with the new XM equipment coming out seamlessly - all you do is just plug the chip in and you're good to go. XM says that it's the easiest way to take your satellite radio with you and I totally agree. Now you'll be able to listen to XM in your car, get home, take the chip with you, and pop it into your XM receiver or stereo in your house/apartment/shack. It'll be available in March/April if everything stays on track.
