Hey all you
Sportster fans out there, don't think we forgot about you in the midst of all the
Stiletto 2 excitement. Sirius let us snap a few shots of this latest iteration in their popular line of dock-and-play radios, but frankly, you'll probably get a better feel for its color screen in the professionally done press photos
here than from the handful of shaky pics we managed to fire off. A little more exciting are the live shots we got of the upcoming
SCV1 backseat tuner and kid-friendly remote, along with a sample of the video feed -- none of which were in the press material sent out today. Also of interest to
Sonos owners out there will be the screenshots of
Sirius doing its streaming thing over the multi-zone system -- and while the GUI is certainly tight, we weren't paying enough attention to really attest to the quality of low bitrate audio they're offering. Click below for all the hands-on goodness...

I own the Sirius Soloist Universal Sound System and I recommend it. It also supports iPods for when your friends come over.
I got it off of Amazon for a little over a hundred:

The Sonos integration is nice, but unfortunately the deal is only good in the US, which isn't an issue for me AND you can only have one stream going at a time. So you can stream one channel to any number of zones simultaneously, but can't listen to more than one station at a time in different rooms. Something that works perfectly with other services on the Sonos like Pandora, Rhapsody, etc... Still nice.

I have the SONOS system, and I have to say that I love it. My neighbors have it too, and we live in Row Houses, so we actually have both of our systems connected, and we have access to 4 different computers linked together, as well as all this online music radios, and a couple of services.
A while ago, SONOS and RHASPSODY were doing a Free Trial of the RHAPSODY On Line service, and I my partner got hooked. We decided to get it, and it's brilliant.
I love the SONOS...
