”Polk miDock Portfolio Dock Hooks Up With All Stilettos
In the midst of all this guff about the Sirius Satellite Radio-receiving Stiletto 10, 100 and the new Stiletto 2, speakermeister Polk Audio decided to announce its miDock portfolio, a speaker dock especially made for the portable receivers. It runs on either AC power or AA batteries, and the company says it folds flat, making it easy to carry on the road. Like most docks of this ilk, it'll charge up that Stiletto, and has a remote control, too. It'll be available in October for $129.99.

That's just the beginning, too, because the companies add that their subscriptions will cost 46% less. Here are a couple of examples the companies announced today.

The Sirius Sportster4 Loses Some Weight
The number two satellite radio company Sirius is poised to launch its next generation of plug and play receivers, much to the delight of everyone who didn't like the idea of mounting something the size of Mt. Everest to their car's dashboard. Sirius contends that their Sportster4 is 40 percent smaller than its previous incarnation and that it weighs in at around 4.2 ounces. It comes with all the standard accessories that always end up getting lost, such as a remote control, mounting clips and suction cups. Since it's a Sirius radio, users can look forward to listening to sports coverage of sports that are incredibly popular here in the United States, such as the English Premier League and Wimbledon. There's also local traffic and weather updates for select cities. The Sportster4 will carry a $170 price tag once it debuts later this month. More »
