Updated Delphi MyFi XM2go receiver rocks the FCC

Details are a little sketch and there's only a shot of the device's battery compartment, but it looks like a new MyFi-branded XM2go receiver is on the way, cause that's what XM's telling the FCC and the FCC don't take kindly to lies. The unit, labeled as Delphi model number SA10113A and XM part number XMTSK01665-01, seems like it shares at least the same basic shape as the previous MyFi radio, but hopefully we'll get a better look at this bad boy soon.

I'm thrilled that the communications companies are finally getting the message that taking our content (OK, their content) with us everywhere is the new lifestyle.

With iPods and other devices that make podcasts, satellite programing and even tv shows portable, we'll soon be truly unwired.

Happily,

Jeff

Um, my xm2go is an SA10113. This is the original model. Why does anyone think this is a new, updated model?

Um...What's so new about this? I have my Myfi that was manufactured in 2004 according to the box. I can't even tell what's different, except maybe a new label stating the IC: above the FCC ID. XM has discontinued this model already for quite a while now, with newer radios. The only thing that I can point out is the new label is mentioned in a few documents, and the use of XM's SureConnect technology. Now I know this model has been discontinued by XM, and has never had SureConnect (new technology released in 2006), and has never needed it due to it's very powerful FM broadcasting..which I love :D. So I'm thinking the FCC had asked them to decrease the FM modulator output (which they have done with all their current radios now, which makes it sound like cr*p, unless you use their stupid SureConnect antenna), but I don't see why as it is no longer sold by XM, and since it's the same model number I doubt they're releasing a nwe model with a color screen. I did read on an XM forum that a CSR for XM posted that they've been receiving a few calls that the MyFi has been shorting out when used with the car dock, but I doubt that this has anything to do with it. Overall, I have no idea why XM filed these today's but the reports are interesting...maybe they're planning on a re-release of the model with their SureConnect technology? Who knows?
