Sounds great, like an iPhone Pandora, only issue is that over edge it will be slow, and if its cached and you want to next track it will have issues. Also over edge it will limit your incoming call capabilities.</p> <p>Still very cool stuff and indicative of market direction and that other people are thinking about this technology too. Further nail in the coffin for Siri though.</p> Kay, thanks for the tip, I have been remiss in my CES fanboy duties as I didn’t get to go this year.

Still very cool stuff and indicative of market direction and that other people are thinking about this technology too. Further nail in the coffin for Siri though.

I read online that it gives you Internet radio, but it uses your iPhone & iPod touch. You can request specific songs & it'll introduce new music based on those preferences. Oh yeah ... and it's free.</p> Have you heard about FlyTunes? I read online that it gives you Internet radio, but it uses your iPhone & iPod touch.

Regardless, I don’t know how bright the future of satelite radio really is. Regular radio is dying. My guess is that satelite radio is not far behind.
