twitterCompany launching new wearable music player
Friday, Aug. 26, 2005 | 9:20 a.m.
NEW YORK -- Sirius Satellite Radio Inc. plans to start selling its first wearable music player in stores in October, about a year after rival XM Satellite Radio Holdings Inc. launched its own version.
The new device unveiled on Thursday includes enough storage capacity for up to 50 hours of recorded Sirius content or audio files. Unlike XM's portable device, MyFi, Sirius's product will not be able to receive satellite signals on the go and must be plugged into a docking station. The s50 will sell for $360.
The move comes as satellite radio players try to expand from the car-radio market. Both Sirius and XM have online streaming music services and "plug and play" devices that let users hook up to Sirius both in their cars and in their homes.
