  1. XM announces internet streaming:

     

    http://www.xmradio.com/listen/index.jsp

     

    $7.99/month to non-subscribers, $3.99/month for subscribers. Sirius offers internet streaming for free to their subscribers (but they charge $3/month more than XM)

     

    Still a good way for someone considering XM to try out the programming without buying any hardware upfront. Just pay the $7.99 for a month and see if it's something you'd like.

  2. Pricegrabber listing: http://gottadeal.pricegrabber.com/search_getprod.php?masterid=2281127&blsrt=1

     

    OneCall has the D70 with 18-70mm lens for $1299:

    Shipping is just over $20. If you sign up for their PASS membership (free) you can save 1% more, so it ends up being just over $1300 shipped. OneCall is an authorized dealer. They've had good bundle deals in the past, but nothing right now.

     

    RitzCamera also has a few versions of the D70, including one with a 2 lens kit for $1229.

  3. I think I fixed it. The reason AFB was allowed to edit it was that there was a 5 minute window when topic titles could be edited. I have increased that window to 99999999999 minutes, so you shouldn't have any problems now, hopefully :)
  4. Without a doubt I would choose XM. Unless you do stuff where you would use the MP3 player a lot (working out, etc...). Having XM, especially in a situation like this where you can have it both in your vehicle and at home is very nice. Ever since they went commercial free on all the music channels it has made it even better. Highly recommended, especially at this price.
  5. Correct. You get the vehicle kit included, which lets you use it either with the cassette adapter, or the built in wireless FM modulator. Both will probably give equal sound performance, so for most, the FM modulator is easier. Just plug the power cable into your cigarette lighter socket, plug in the antenna and you're good to go. You can also plug the audio output directly into your head unit if you have an aux. input.

     

    The home kit is very similar - has an antenna and a dock with a line out to connect it to a receiver, powered speakers, PC, headphones, etc...

     

    This is a really good price. Don't know if it is the new price (doubtful since this model just came out a few months ago) or Amazon just has a lower price than everywhere else.

  6. If you just need FM, I'd go with something cheap like this:

    Order 2 and get free shipping (and have one for a backup - the quality isn't going to be the greatest at that price) No MP3, but what do you expect for $13? lol

     

    If you want something better, go with something like a Sangean. I've had a little radio from them for about 5 years now. Works great, great reception, excellent battery life.

  7. Bobby doesn't know the meaning of the word budget, lol.

     

    How about this one:

    and then use this 10% coupon:

     

    http://www.buy.com/retail/coupon.asp?prid=84349019

     

    You'll have to pay shipping since it's on order (once it gets in stock it will have free shipping, but the price could get raised) still should be around $122 shipped...
