Navy "Batman Boat" Has Drug Runners Thinking They're Being Chased By UFOs
The Navy's 80-foot $6 million "Stiletto" with its Batman-esque twin m-shaped hull has been floating around as a prototype project for several years now, but it has suffered from budget cuts in the Defense Department. However, it appears that the Stiletto is starting to see some action in the war against drugs. Recently a group of drug runners in Florida tried to elude one by sailing near reefs and sandbars at 42 knots and skimming over water less than 5 feet deep. But the Stiletto kept on coming. After a two-hour chase, the drug boat finally ran out of gas and the passengers were apprehended. They told authorities that it was like being chased by a UFO. A UFO boat, huh? These guys were so f'ing high. More »

Sirius's Extremely Budget-y $40 InV2 Receiver and Other Bits From The Show
Did you know Sirius makes a $40 receiver called the InV2? Unfortunately, it won't work with docks, but you can't argue with that price. On top of that bit, you saw a lot of major gear today from Sirius's show—the new Stiletto 2, the Altec Lansing dock, the Polk dock, the Sportster 5 with color screen and the Backseat TV system for kid video programming.

Sirius Stiletto 2 vs Original Sirius Stiletto
How much smaller is the new Stiletto 2 from Sirius? See for yourself, because I just shot it alongside its predecessor. Notice that the older unit has the chunky extended battery. That's because it takes the extended battery on the old Stiletto to get the same battery life that the new one gets right out of the box: 4 hours of live satellite radio, 10 hours of Sirius Internet Radio over Wi-Fi and 20 hours playback of stored content.

Sirius Stiletto 2 is Officially Official
Hinted not so long ago, the Sirius Stiletto 2 is the official sequel to Sirius' first portable player, the Stiletto. As with the new Sportster, the Stiletto's feature set has remained basically unchanged, keeping the Wi-Fi and SD MP3 playback of the original, while now supporting up to 100 hours of program recording. The big difference here is that the Stiletto 2 looks much skinnier, like, one whole ass cheek was lopped off, skinnier. As for other details, like battery life and actual size (not just my eyeball measuring tape), we don't yet know. The Stiletto 2 will be available this fall for $349. Full feature list after the jump.

Sirius Stiletto 10 Now Available, Likely Sucks
The Sirius Stiletto 100 has been out for a couple months now, and we have confirmed that it sucks mightily so we can easily assume that the 100's little brother, the Stiletto 10 will suck just as much. This little player is about $100 cheaper (making it $250) than its bigger, sucky brother and excludes MP3/WMA storage/playback, Wi-Fi and will only record up to 10 hours of live satellite radio recordings. The Sirius webpage is showing it out of stock, but it is also available at other Sirius retailers like Radio Shack, Crutchfield and Best Buy. More »

Sirius Stiletto 100 Reviewed (Verdict: I am One Disappointed Fanboy)
Yep, folks. That is right. I have been talking up the Sirius Stiletto for months now and I am unfortunate to report that this device is not what it was cracked up to be. It is considerably less. The Stiletto is Sirius' answer to true, portable satellite radio. XM has had a similar device for the better part of this year, and I expected the extra time Sirius put into the Stiletto to pay off, but it didn't. There is some good, like the included extended battery and ability to save songs, but then again, there is a lot of bad.

Exclusive Zing WiFi Music Player Photos, Smaller than Stiletto
DEMO is a bust for hardware geeks, but we did catch a live Zing music player—you know that one that uses WiFi to download internet radio and Sirius. The nice lady showing it off told me that they weren't announcing anything right now, but gave us a little tour of the player, as well as a chance to see how it stacks up to the Sirius Stiletto, which looked just hulking next to the cute little Zing. Granted, Zing has no Sat receiver, but it did have...

SIRIUS Stiletto Gets Officialized ... Finally
We've been gabbing about this thing for what seems like years, and it is finally here, kind of. SIRIUS has officially announced the Stiletto 100. It is still all of the same info we have heard before about this player—satellite listening, Wi-Fi, up to 100 hours of recording on the 2GB hard drive, scheduled recording, etc. The one little piece of info that came as surprise is the fact that the Stiletto 100 will include Yahoo! Music software, which allows users to buy music and save it directly onto the Stiletto. More »

SIRIUS Stiletto Preorders Suspended, Smells like Trouble
The SIRIUS Stiletto has been available for pre-order on many sites for a while now, but today in a shocking turn of events, SIRIUS has asked retailers to suspend pre-orders. At first thought you would think it is a supply issue, correct? Nope, not according to the initial sources checked. The folks over at Orbitcast seem to think the RIAA is busting some chops. I think I'll take a stab at it by saying the FCC is involved. They have been busting the balls of the satellite radio companies as of late. More »
