Some great comments and dialogue. I often think of the singer who has a song that says about TV a hundred channels but nothing on. As you are still at the mercy of what is streaming at the time, you don't have the control. I think that the introduction of music you may not own and might like is an amazing benefit of radio (satellite or other) and still has a place. I have a 60 GB ipod and don't have all the music I like to hear and am always being introduced to new music from others. That aside, for me paying the $15/month plus the hardware cost is a tipping point even for me and I am never shy on buying gadgets. I wonder if this will be like the cell phone where you will see two devices converge. In cellular you have PDA, email, web and phone. Here you might have all of those plus music or satellite radio - probably not, but how about a satellite attachment to my iPOD. That may be interesting or a TIVO for your Satellite radio. It will be fun to watch.
