Yesterday we announced Motorola's iRadio service which is designed to take on XM and Sirius in digital radio, particularly on mobile phones. We stated that we believed that XM and Suirius would respond and be the long term winners. And today XM has responded.
They plan to today debut a pair of portable, handheld radio receivers that will also store digital songs.
The two devices, called the Helix and the Inno, and manufactured by Samsung Electronics and Pioneer Electronics respectively, will store and play MP3 files and those encoded using Windows Media software.
XM's two players, part of its XM2Go line, will let users bookmark songs that can be purchased online from its joint venture service with Napster.
Now they just need to get them to be mobile phones as well and bob's your uncle. Come on XM and Sirius, get more seious about the mobile space. Ignore it at your peril.
