Over four million people are now paying $10 or $13 a month just to listen to satellite radio and that figure could be about to boom: new portable sets are beginning to be released. The first pocket-size satellite radio, available for XM radio only, is called the Delphi MyFi. It will be joined later this year by additional models for XM and Sirius. In December we suggested that it can’t be long now until iPod has satellite radio too.
The NY Times wasn’t so impressed with the little fella when they reviewed it – a bit bulky and fiddly but there was one saving grace:
"What ultimately saves the MyFi from winding up at the back of your gadget drawer, though, is the amazing entertainment that comes out of it. XM’s programming is so rich, so constantly surprising, so far removed from the homogenized glop of broadcast radio, that you can overlook a whole host of hardware hitches. At one point, I actually walked twice around the block in the freezing cold just so I could hear the end of a radio drama on Channel 163."
