    I could probably do without the blur, but I'm guessing this will be upgradable to Android 2. I like the look of the keyboard of the Cliq better than the Droid - much better for emulators/games with the d-pad on the left. #nowshipping

    $120? Really? Just buy a $30 receiver off ebay if you REALLY need XM radio. Other wise just invest in Slacker (music and comedy) and Wunder Radio (sports and news). #nowshipping

    We've been here before... face to face with the Cliq; I'm still on the fence though and wary that I may never see Android 2.0 on that thing. #nowshipping

    @En0s1: The Cliq is going to be Motorola's flagship GSM phone for a while. Given that fact, they probably will do what they can to keep the flagship current. (I hope).

    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.

    @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.

    @Homerjay would like a refund for CoPilot for iPhone: By the way, Trapster is the IDEAL background app. It worked perfectly for me today when approaching a life speedtrap. LUCKILY I had it running. If everyone with an iPhone had it running in the background it would be even better.

    @Homerjay would like a refund for CoPilot for iPhone: Anyone who is tech-savvy enough to follow Giz can Jailbreak an iPhone. 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.

    @redman042: I'm sure I CAN do it. I just kinda wanted it to be perfect just the way it was. I suppose the fact that it's married to AT&T has already tarnished that view so what the hell. I'll try to work on that tonight.

    @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.

    PLEASE LISTEN: If you are already an XM or Sirius subscriber, and don't want to pay an extra $3/month for this service, get Pocket Tunes from the App store. It will let you listen via 3G or WiFi to any channel you can listen to online now with your XM or Sirius account, as if you were listening on your computer.


    Not affiliated any way with Pocket Tunes. Just been using it for the past six months with no issues.

    I imagine the shopping cart would be for some connection to a purchase music service. Didn't the XM Inno units have a purchase iption so you could click on a song playing on an XM station and purchase an MP3 of it?

    half of this stuff is due to licensing issues, not really "technology." And TiVo doesn't count - it is a DVR, and that is idea has wide adoption.


    And I still think TiVo is overpriced.

    Oh yeah? Well at least we don't feed our children antifreeze in their wine, make them work in salt mines and allow punk to exist in a greater-than-acceptable saturation. Nothing but good ol' fashion Grade A lead paint for our kids, from China.
