Dylan Comes to XM

By Digital Trends Staff December 13, 2005

XM Satellite Radio today announced that they were bringing legendary music icon Bob Dylan into the fold as a music show host. Dylan’s new show will debut on their deep rock channel in March 2006.

Dylan will offer regular commentary on music and other topics on his weekly, hour long show. He plans to host and interview special guests including other artists and will respond to emails from XM subscribers.

“Songs and music have always inspired me. A lot of my own songs have been played on the radio, but this is the first time I’ve ever been on the other side of the mic,” said Dylan. “It’ll be as exciting for me as it is for XM.”

“Bob Dylan epitomizes the American music experience and his unflagging integrity and vision defines everything we hope for XM to be,” said Lee Abrams, Chief Creative Officer, XM Satellite Radio. “It is an honor to count Bob Dylan among the members of the XM artist family, and is further testimony of XM’s commitment to create original music programming that makes a difference.”

Siri’s coming to third-party devices with latest HomeKit update

Apple announced new updates to its HomeKit smart home platform at WWDC 2021, helping to diversify the ecosystem and operating system for all of its home-focused devices. This means the HomePod mini will have many more integrations with other HomeKit-compatible devices. The launch of Homekit's latest update will come with the release of iOS 15, to expand the Siri-powered smart home beyond its current limits.

HomeKit has always lagged behind Google Assistant and Amazon Alexa in terms of compatibility and utility, relegated mostly to an audience of Apple enthusiasts. The announcement of HomeKit's expanded functionality means Apple is moving to improve its standing within the smart home market, including Siri's integration with third-party devices later this year -- something that will help to grow Apple's presence in the smart home space in a significant way. There's even going to be more integration of the Home app with the upcoming release of WatchOS 8 with the Apple Watch.

Amazon Sidewalk is coming soon. Here’s how it will improve smart home devices

Ring Smart Spotlight

Tired of your outdoor smart lights and security cameras constantly losing network connectivity? Luckily, there's now an answer to these infuriating dropped connections, and it's all thanks to Amazon. Announced in September 2019, Amazon Sidewalk finally goes live on June 8. In a nutshell, Sidewalk is Amazon's take on community network expansion. Utilizing a tiny parcel of your home's Wi-Fi network and select smart home devices, Sidewalk will broadcast data using Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) and the 900MHz spectrum, employing several Echo and Ring devices at launch for the actual broadcasting. The end result: Faster device setups, stronger, more consistent wireless connections, and expanded networking for entire neighborhoods and communities.
The building blocks of Sidewalk

By default, a bevy of Amazon Echo and Ring devices will be capable of Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) broadcasting when Sidewalk goes live. These are the data frequencies used for improved device performance within the four walls of our homes, detached garages, patios, and backyards, and the tech we operate on our properties (more on that in a bit). At launch, only the fourth-gen Amazon Echo speaker, Echo Show 10, Ring Floodlight Cam, and Ring Spotlight Cam Wired will be capable of both BLE and 900MHz broadcasting -- the latter being the critical component of a successful Sidewalk experience for your locale. The 900MHz spectrum is what Sidewalk Bridge devices will use to transmit signals up to half a mile away.

New Roborock S7 Robot Vacuum is coming to Amazon this month

Roborock S7 robot vacuum and mop cleaning carpet.

Roborock's profile as a quality robot vacuum brand has risen in recent years to put the company in competition with other notable manufacturers like iRobot and Shark. And with the unveiling of its new top-of-the-line Roborock S7 robot vacuum, Roborock's reputation for high-performing machines should be solidified. Indeed, it was one of our favorite robot vacuums of CES 2021, standing out with its sonic mopping feature.

The Roborock S7 is a mopping-vacuum hybrid capable of cleaning your entire living space. Our reviewer praised the Roborock S7 for its sonic mopping technology, among other attributes. Equipped with Roborock's new VibraRise technology, the S7's mopping pad is capable of vibrating at 3,000 times per minute, allowing it to aggressively clean stains and other tough spots. This translates to fewer passes over the same area and quicker cleaning times. Another distinguishing component of the S7's VibraRise technology is the ability to retract and apply its mopping pad as needed. Whereas other machines require the user to remove the pad when it's time to vacuum, the Roborock S7 can switch between mopping and vacuum modes all on its own when it detects a carpeted surface via ultrasonic sound. In addition to the convenience this affords, the intelligent mop-lift feature also means that users don't need to designate "no mop" zones via the vacuum's smart map. And when the S7 is done mopping, it lifts the pad to ensure that it doesn't leave behind any dirty streaks.

Roborock has also amped up the Roborock S7's vacuuming capabilities. It comes equipped with 2,500 pa of suction power, giving it the ability to suck up even the most ground-in dirt. Roborock has upgraded the main brush by replacing the bristled design of past models with a finned rubber brush. The brush's floating design allows it to hug the floor, even on uneven surfaces. And with a 470ml dustbin, you'll need to empty the S7 less often than other models. (Roborock also plans to release an accompanying auto-empty dock that will allow the robot vac to self-empty.)
