Info learned on XM's new portable device (Codename: Phoenix)
Yes folks, there's a new portable/handheld satellite radio coming out from XM, and it's currently floating around the halls of The Eck with the codename "Phoenix" (which, is appropriate).
The details are still coming in, and there are several versions of the prototype making the rounds as I understand it. So the below description is, by no means, final.
According to sources, the XM Phoenix is slightly smaller than the existing Inno with a much slicker interface and a rotating wheel that functions similar to the beloved SkyFi2. It features a MicroSD slot for external music (not for transfer of XM recordings, of course) and the internal storage space might have been increased (not sure exactly how much, if any).
The screen size is larger than the current Inno, but the antenna looks similar/identical to the Inno's. Details on whether or not the device has WiFi are still fuzzy.
The Phoenix is supposed to hit the streets in Fall. As more details come in, such as the final name of the device, I'll be sure to post them here.
