Sirius Stiletto 2 announced with WiFi and microSD

With the merger between XM and Sirius still pending, I don’t think I’d buy any new satellite radio equipment just yet. If I was in the market, I’d be all over the new Sirius Stiletto 2 just announced today. The device is about 25% smaller than its predecessor and offers up a new feature set. First off is the inclusion of 802.11b/g for WiFi access of Sirius content. This is fantastic for indoor listening when you can’t get a satellite signal; Plan B is to outfit your home with skylights throughout, so I like Plan A better. Also included is a microSD slot for storing live content as well as tunes from your digital library, making this more of an all-in-one device. Watch for it this fall at an MSRP of $349.99; maybe we’ll have some progress on the merger by then.
