"MyFi" XM Walkman-type receiver unveiled
After much speculation and anticipation, Delphi and XM Satellite Radio unveiled the Delphi MyFi, the first personal, portable XM2GO satellite radio that lets users enjoy XM's more than 130 digital XM channels in two ways: a "live" listening mode and a time-shifting "memory" mode. The MyFi's live mode enables users to listen live to all of XM's 68 commercial-free music channels, plus premier news, sports, talk, traffic and weather channels. MyFi's memory mode - - called "My XM" - - allows users to store five hours or more of XM content with the press of a button, even when the unit is not in use. XM also announced superstar Elton John will be featured in the national TV advertising campaign to launch the MyFi.
MyFi lists for 349.99 and features:
* Rechargeable, integrated battery
* Complete home accessory kit
* Complete vehicle accessory kit
* First-ever built-in XM antenna
* Remote control
* Up to 30 channel presets
* Stock ticker
* Sports score ticker
* Built-in wireless FM transmitter makes any FM radio an XM Radio
* Built-in alarm clock
The MyFi will be available at major U.S. retailers such as Best Buy, Circuit City, Crutchfield, and online sites in early December. MyFi is the newest member of the family of Delphi satellite radio products, including the acclaimed SKYFi2 and Roady2 plug-and-play radios.
