    Ugh. Now if we could have cheap-cheap receivers and cheaper plans.

    Why should I have to spend $16 a month after royalties and taxes to listen to one channel that constantly replays the same music, because my receiver doesn't "support" the Ala Carte plan?

    I'm looking at you, SIRIUS/XM Chill. I've heard Alexandar Daf's "In a Silent Way" TOO MANY TIMES. It's like... following me.

    Go into a Best Buy and turn on a demo SIRIUS unit... it's playing. Get home after a day of work... it's playing.

    Yeah - I'm going to stick with NPR, Pandora, Last.Fm, and Slacker - what with them being FREE! I've got enough subscriptions in my life - radio is not and will not be one of them.

    Still, it's admirable how Sirius has managed to really show up to the party late.

    Since they are billing this as the "XM" SkyDock, and their programming options include the "best of Sirius" package...this is geared for the XM subscribers, and not the Sirius subscribers?

    Would this not work the same, regardless of which service I have?

    @12-Inch Idongivafuck Sandwich: I think not. XM and Sirius each have different tuners. Most of the programming's the same at this point, this is an XM product and won't work w/ the Sirius network. There would need to be either a separate model for Sirius, or it would need to be dual-band. I don't know if dual-band or unity recievers are on the market yet.

    @12-Inch Idongivafuck Sandwich: You'll need to switch to XM to use the SkyDock and get the Best of SIRIUS package for the Skydock.

    @Chimaera: Yes, there is. The MiRGE receiver, which is ~$200. Requires the SIRIUS|XM "All in One" package for the unit, $19.99/mo not including the bend-me-over royalty fees and taxes.

    @MikeSWelch: I just find it half-baked. It's really not ready for prime-time. It frequently shows me on a different road than I'm on (I'm not in a city where it could justifiably be wrong). It sometimes shows me travelling in the wrong direction. There are a lot of missing BIG poi's. It crashes. II couldn't get it to even show me where I was in walking mode even though the GPS locked on. It doesn't show you where you are until you've started moving a little. It's just weird. I submitted requests to iTunes Store and to the maker but I doubt I'll get a response. MAYBE the update will be better but I don't hold out a lot of hope.
    Someone even pointed out that they clearly rushed it to market as is evidenced by the fact that when you click on "Hotels" you get a list of restaurants and vice versa.

I did, and now I basically have an iPhone 3GS Pro that beats the pants off a Blackberry any way. I can background Navigon, Slacker, and check my email all at the same time, with barely a hiccup.

    @Homerjay would like a refund for CoPilot for iPhone: I do to, and I generally I don't like hacking my phones. But what's perfect for us is too complicated for others, and I think that's part of Apple's motivation here (the other obviously being control). Managing open and closed apps to save battery and memory is a little too much effort for grandma. But something as simple as an out-of-the-box iPhone is a cakewalk for her. The rest of us can jailbreak. It may not be the most elegant solution, but it works brilliantly if you do a little research and be careful about it. Plus you're far better off with a 3GS, which can handle the burden so much better than the 3G.

It wouldn't matter what we were talking about, he would always bring her up. It got to be a point where you would seriously want to punch him and his ex-girlfriend in the throat.

    I love Pandora, however I used to work in a store with Sirius and it was awesome.


    Difference being theres a price for one..the other is free for similar services


    The only thing with Pandora is that each artist has limited songs..I often hear the same songs by an artist and that kinda bugs me, but honestly Pandora really has most of the bases covered on service. Kudos.
