2005 Editors' Choice Awards

[February/March 2005] An awesome portable that isn't an iPod! Satellite radio in the palm of your hand wherever you are - at home, in the car, on a plane, or jogging on the beach.

Think subscription radio is for chumps? Then you haven't experienced commercial-free satellite radio. The beauty of Delphi's compact MyFi XM2go receiver ($250) is that it puts all of XM's 150+ digital channels in your pocket - literally! (A $12.95-a-month XM satellite radio subscription is required.) Delphi keeps the jams pumping by including every accessory imaginable - a home dock, a car kit, a rechargeable battery, a remote, headphones, and so on - providing connection options for any and all environments. Besides its built-in antenna, you also get a wearable antenna to improve reception when you're on the go. Subway commuters and frequent fliers can record up to 5 hours of programming to keep rocking when satellite access isn't available. Not enough? Besides showing artist and track details on its big display, the MyFi can even deliver stock prices and sports scores. Still cooler, tell the receiver which bands or songs you like, and it alerts you whenever they're playing. This all adds up to one powerful portable! -John Sciacca delphi.com
