I think this device is cool as hell! I do think the price point is going to be the biggest issue with it, especially with the docks not included or at least a dock of your choice as you get with the new Edge.
You guys all know I am big on other music services! However, I have never canceled sat radio and the reason is because there is just nothing out there that compares. To say oh I can get content here and I can get it there, I can jump up and down while whistling Dixie. So, what, the fact is you can't get everything that Sirius XM offers in a single service.
We are just seeing the beginnings of what is to come with sat radio and given the fact that sat radio already has 20 plus millions subs most of which are being paid for. They are can certainly offer up a competitive online service that will meet and/or beat most other online services today and they will do that with content. Content that most of the other simply don't have and cannot afford to get.
Now we can gripe about shit that happened what 2 years ago now and hold a grudge, but the facts are clear. While there was some initial churn most resubscribed and subscriptions have continued to be added with very low churn. Those numbers tell the story at the end of the day better than anything I could say. Time to let go of shit that happened years ago and if you really moved on, why are you still complaining about it. GEEZ! That is a rhetorical question no response necessary. Lets stay on topic!
Sat Radio Rocks! What I am looking forward too are the enhanced smartphone apps that are likely to come. I don't see myself buying more hardware, but I would like to see them improve the sky dock app that I use with my iPod Touch on a daily basis.
