If your life feels incomplete unless you can tune into the radiation beaming down from Sirius Satellite Radio, then you might want to check out the Stiletto 100, Sirius’s latest pocket-sized satellite radio designed to compete with recent portable systems from rival XM Satellite Radio.
The Stiletto 100 is a tiny, pocket-sized satellite radio receiver (measuring 4.7 inches by 2 inches by 1 inch) with 2 GB of onboard storage and a 2.2-inch LCD display. The Stiletto enables users to record up to 100 hours of Sirius content, either by automatically recording feeds from user’s favorite Sirius stations (up to 6 hours at a time) and enabling users to save up to 10 hours of individual music tracks from live Sirius broadcasts just by pressing the Stiletto’s "Love" button.
The Stiletto 100 also features built-in Wi-Fi for connection to Sirius services, which means users can tune into their Sirius broadcasts anywhere they can get Wi-Fi Internet access. Sirius’s Internet radio services include 64 commercial-free music channels, plus talk programming, OutQ, and offerings from Howard Stern and Martha Stewart.
Users can also transfer private digital music collections on a PC to the Stiletto 100 (MP3 and WMA format); Sirius also includes Yahoo Music Jukebox; any songs bookmarked by a Stiletto 100 user can be looked up and purchased when the user connects the Stiletto to a PC.
The Stiletto 100 carries a suggested price of $349.99; Sirius will also sell vehicle and home kits ($69.95 each), as well as batteries, headphones, and other accessories.
