It’s a neat idea but I imagine the add-on module will be unwieldy and battery life will suck. Of course, they may build a rechargeable battery into the unit itself but then it would be that much bigger. In any case, it’s nice to see innovation in the satellite radio field.

Here’s a news item I missed when it first came out a couple of weeks ago: iBIZ Technology Corporation has announced its intention to begin licensing its Synosphere satellite radio technologies to qualified partners. What this means is that XM radio receiver accessories may one day be available for the Pocket PC. Bryan A. Scott, CEO of the Synosphere subsidiary, adds that “This also provides subscribers the ability to personalize their satellite radio experience by using a PDA’s full color graphical user interface.”
