On a side note, I'm curious how XM's MyFi will do (and how the recption is). It seems to me there are definitely logistic issues with that, and will be hard to complete in an area where Apple and the iPod is so dominant.

I don't think there is any Siruis compatible hardware that lets you tune the radio from the computer (XMPCR/PCRDIRECT). That's what sold me with XM. I can't give up the disk space or cpu resources to play MP3s on disk and I can't use streams at work. XM has really changed my music listening habits. Though, if Sirius had done the same thing, it would have been a toos up for me. It's the delivery and controlling software that won me over.
I don't think the MyFi is competing with iPod unless IPod now receives sat radio. The recording function on the MyFi only records from the receiver and doesn't (yet?) play pre-recorded music.
As for Stern moving? meh. His voice can't compete with Pat Benatar or Nancy Wilson ;-)
