Sirius Stiletto

Sirius has stepped seriously into the portable live radio ring with the introduction of the Stiletto 100. In addition to playing live Sirius programming, the Stiletto has 2 GB of storage capacity to allow users to store up to 100 hours of music, either scheduling regular broadcasts or saving up to 10 hours of individual songs by pressing a "Love" button. It additionally allows users to pause and rewind for up to 60 minutes.

It also features a WiFi connection, which can be used to stream Sirius programming from the Internet when a satellite connection is unavailable. Finally, the device features the Yahoo Music Jukebox software, allowing users to bookmark songs they wish to purchase and launched the Yahoo music service when the device is synced with a PC. The headphones double as satellite antenna, and are quite possibly the ugliest accessory on the market today

The unit is available now for $350. Additional options include a vehicle kit and home kit at $70 each, or an executive system for $150.
