Still waiting for Sirius to come up with a truly portable device like the XM to go..... Plus sirius has the NFL Channels which is awesome during football season....

yeah, but who leaves their house during football season.

I am thinking about when i am at the game or at a sportsbar watching a game it would be nice to have all the other games at your disposal.....

I've had a chance to try out the iSeido FM transmitter. To my surprise it worked well. Slightly lower quality than my XM radio. I think the Treo actually sounded better than with my iPod Shuffle. Looks like I'll keep the Seido.
Now, I have to figure out how I'm going to hardwire my setup. I'm waiting for the Tom Tom before I start.
I'll probably route a new cigarette lighter adapter to the glovebox or armrest compartment and keep the Tom Tom there. I'll have figure out where to put the FM transmitter so that its "hidden", yet have the buttons accessible.
I'd like to use the treo as an MP3 player. Only drawback is that the music shuts off when I get a call. Too bad it doesnt pause and return when you end the call.
Oh yeah, I got the Treo Bluetooth headset. It works great. No sound degradation and it fits comfortably. No complaints.

seems you are finding all the help you need and getting everything sorted out to make full use of your treo....good for you Kwan!

How is the reception? Do either of you have the Delphi myfi?

I have the Sirius Sportster, I've had it for almost a year now and love it. I ran the FM Xmiter originally, but I travel alot and it seemed like I was always having to change the frequency because it would bump into local stations as I passed through cities. I then hardwired it to the Aux in on my Pioneer head unit and I did notice an improvement in sound. I just replaced the Pioneer head unit with a JVC KD-AVX1 DVD head unit. I plan on adding on the proper JVC Sirius receiver that mates to a special input on it. I'm hoping the sound quality will improve further.

Sirius does have a truly portable receiver now - the S50

Unfortunately it's $279 and Out of Stock but it definitely could get you satellite radio and be an iPod replacement Chris.

I ended up getting XM Radio for my wife as a Christmas present. If you buy direct from XM, it ends up being $30 for the home and car kit. To be honest, I have no idea how the car kit gets hooked up. She loves it. I haven't had a chance to listen much to it. Once it's in the car, then I'll probably check it out. I do like the idea of having all of the MLB.
