Sirius wearable music player
SIRIUS Satellite Radio has presented its first wearable satellite radio, the SIRIUS S50, a nifty looking little thingy.
The SIRIUS S50 measures just 1.9 by 3.9 inches and 0.7 inches thick, and includes a full color display, sleek black exterior and voice-assisted channel navigation. When attached to a home dock, car dock or executive docking station, the SIRIUS S50 provides easy access to live content, and captures and stores both scheduled and unscheduled programming. (For those unaware Sirius is one of the biggest US Satellite Broadcasters.)
The SIRIUS S50 stores content in a variety of formats for listening on the go, including “My SIRIUS Channels,” “My SIRIUS Songs,” “Scheduled Record,” and “My Playlists.”
Sirius is one of the numerous companies trying to make a dent in the digital music market, which is currently dominated by Apple Computer’s iPod.
The S50 is set to start shipping in October for $359. The price includes a car dock.
Content can be recorded and stored in different sections such as “My Sirius channels,” which automatically gathers programming from a person’s three most-listened-to channels.
“My Sirius songs” lets people save their favorite music, while the “scheduled record” feature can be used to capture favorite shows on a one-time or recurring basis. Playlists can also be created with MP3/WMA files by connecting the home dock to a PC.
