Darn…product announcements at CES yesterday took my cutting-edge Tao XM2Go radio and make it look like an old transistor AM radio.

But check out these beautiful new XM Satellite Radios…live on-the-go XM, coupled with MP3 player and up to 50 hours available to record from XM’s live stream (my Tao XM2Go only records five hours)…graphics-capable color screens, massively-simplified controls, good grief, talk about a technological advance in satellite radio! Yes, yes, they’ll be $399, but the Tao was $299 when introduced, I bought mine at $130, and you can pick one up now for under a hundred, so the Pioneer Inno and the Samsung Helix are bound to come down, and probably rapidly.

Of course, not rapidly enough for me, since if I ever spent $400 on a satellite radio I’m afraid it would have to keep me warm while I slept out on the lawn…and y’know, even The Bob Edwards Show ain’t worth that.
