Sirius Stiletto 2, Sportster SP5 on the horizon?

Now that the fiasco that surrounded the first Stiletto has died down, it's about time we focused on version two. During this week's earnings call, Sirius' President of Operations and Sales, Jim Meyer, reportedly stated that the company was "preparing for the launch of some new aftermarket products, including a new wearable product, Stiletto 2, and a new Sportser SP5." Furthermore, he added that "more details" would be doled out "next month," and suggested that the Stiletto 2 in particular may hit shelves sometime "this fall." Aside from that, no further details regarding size, capacity, or feature changes have been divulged, but according to Jim, the wait for more dirt shouldn't be too awfully long.

There it is! "doled out"

Engadget has a total of 3 verbs in their vocabulary. Doled, loosed, and eschewed.

You forgot "dropped", but they use it to mean "released" when in its context it almost always looks they mean "terminated".

I was considering getting a Stiletto until I found out I could use my existing subscription to receive Sirius on my internet-enabled phone for free as part of my existing Sirius subscription (having an unlimited data plan helps!). I use a great little free app called SiriusWM5 for Windows Mobile phones. Works great, and in a lot more places than the Stiletto (i.e. indoors where no WiFi is available)

I hope these new radios actually bring something new to the table in the way of features and are not simply re-works of the existing designs.
