iPod or XM: which is better?

Don Day | December 26, 2004

Last May I asked which you all thought was better: XM or iPod. The crowd was split.

In November, I did a free trial of XM’s online service — and listened at work for a few weeks. Wasn’t super impressed. The online trial didn’t include the news stations (CNN, MSNBC, Fox, etc) – which would have been a huge selling point.

For Christmas (granted, it was just yesterday), I got a 20 GB iPod. It rocks (pun intended). Now it’s a simple decision: iPod over XM.

    I bet that could have been for Legal reasons, or something. I remember Fox News use to stream there live feed over the web site. But they don’t anymore. I will talk to you later.

    Kevin:

    The word you want is not “there” but “their.”

    “The”:

    Anal is something you should “give”, not “be”. :)

    I dunno. I just think that people in the alleged “communications” industry should have a reasonable level of literacy. Just funny (or anal if that makes you happier) that way, I guess.

    I am in love with my Ipod. But, what would you give up first? Your Ipod or your DVR/TIVO?

    Honestly, after having a DVR I don’t know if I woud want to live without it. Burned CD’s or a Minidisc player can get you by without an Ipod. But watching programs when they are aired and with commercials would just be impossible now.
