Good idea, and something like it probably exists, but this aint it.]]>Mar 6th 2006 2:27AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/03/06/is-this-the-xm-satellite-video-player/http://www.engadget.com/2006/03/06/is-this-the-xm-satellite-video-player/

I think this picture is fake. But it is rumored of a video/XM device that can get videos from a satellite (The rumored Ipod Killer.. even though it won't be an ipod killer if XM comes with the Ipod one day).]]>Mar 6th 2006 7:33AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/03/06/is-this-the-xm-satellite-video-player/http://www.engadget.com/2006/03/06/is-this-the-xm-satellite-video-player/
I really think XM will pull of video because of that talk that they want to be an "entertainment company" although I don't know what technical obstacles that would entail.

If sirius was making the device it would probably weigh 15 pounds and have bunny ear antennaes wrapped in tin foil.]]>Mar 6th 2006 8:26AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/03/06/is-this-the-xm-satellite-video-player/http://www.engadget.com/2006/03/06/is-this-the-xm-satellite-video-player/
It was confirmed on the ON2 conference call that XM did display for public viewing a hand held device with Video at CES in January.

XM's recent deal with WCS will provide the bandwidth necessary for about 20 channels of video. The only thing holding XM back is the Gov't approval of the deal.

This thing will blow IPODs and MP3 players away because you won't need to download your entertainment from your PC. Live sports and news etc.]]>Mar 6th 2006 8:39AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/03/06/is-this-the-xm-satellite-video-player/http://www.engadget.com/2006/03/06/is-this-the-xm-satellite-video-player/
Maybe Apple and Disney can get a bird launched.]]>Mar 6th 2006 10:27AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/03/06/is-this-the-xm-satellite-video-player/http://www.engadget.com/2006/03/06/is-this-the-xm-satellite-video-player/Mar 6th 2006 1:24PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/03/06/is-this-the-xm-satellite-video-player/http://www.engadget.com/2006/03/06/is-this-the-xm-satellite-video-player/Mar 6th 2006 1:55PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/03/06/is-this-the-xm-satellite-video-player/http://www.engadget.com/2006/03/06/is-this-the-xm-satellite-video-player/
Maybe Apple and Disney can get a bird launched."
Why? It would be easier if Apple would just team up with Xm. Then Apple woulnd't have to launch anything themselves.

APple has to releaize that Xm isn't their competitor and could be their friend. ]]>Mar 6th 2006 5:41PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/03/06/is-this-the-xm-satellite-video-player/http://www.engadget.com/2006/03/06/is-this-the-xm-satellite-video-player/Mar 6th 2006 6:00PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/03/06/is-this-the-xm-satellite-video-player/http://www.engadget.com/2006/03/06/is-this-the-xm-satellite-video-player/
When XM and Sirius launched, the best mobile internet speed you could get was around 14 kbps and now it's probably 500 kbps on EVDO cell phones. Doesn't it make sense that the wireless voice providers can overtake the satellite guys in the very near future? I can already stream XM/Sirius on my EVDO cell phone. I really think Sprint/Verizon/Cingular is going to win the race to dominance in the mobile video market.

The terrestrial wireless guys will also get you a video inside without line of sight. However, there's still a market for the satellite mobile video market like in the boonies away from interstates and in domestic aircraft where cell phone signals are too faint at altitude.

That's what it looks like to me.]]>Mar 7th 2006 1:04PM
