I was flipping through the pages of my Sports Weekly today and saw a huge ad for a new "XM2go" portable XM Radio device.

From what I gather, it's a portal radio (think Walkman) that gets all the stations XM Radio broadcasts.

This is pretty much what I've been waiting for, and I was curious if anyone has one of these yet? How is it? How much does it cost? Would you recommend it to others looking for a portable satellite radio solution, or do you recommend holding off until more similiar devices are released?

I emailed Sirius a few months ago about a device similiar to this, and they replied that such a device wasn't available at this time. But it seems XM has released such a device, and I'm strongly considering signing up with XM so that I can take advantage of this.

The fact that baseball season is starting up and XM carries games, also helps, greatly.

I'd really appreciate any and all feedback regarding this XM2go device. Personally, I'd rather have this than a iPod, providing it is "solid" and a worthwhile investment.

Thanks!
