"If you are a true music nut, one who enjoys collecting rare versions of songs, or you have a massive CD collection (or someone else's) that you can easily rip to an iPod, then go for one of Apple's little wonders.

But if you're lazy, or time-pressed, or don't want the temptation of thousands of unauthorized peer-to-peer sites [and risk getting a summons from the RIAA], I'd opt for the [Inno]."

Well a few lucky folks got their Pioneer Innos yesterday. Crutchfield got the first shipment of the new devices in and those folks who had pre-ordered from them got them first. (They sold out in the first day). I had a pre-order with Crutchfield but cancelled and pre-ordered with another site who had a sale price to save some money... Oh well, it looks like I'll have mine next week. (yes I'm bitter... )

Here's a couple of links to some news about the Inno's release:

USA TODAY: Look out iPod: Inno marries satellite radio, portable music

Toronto Star: This fellow is in love with his first generation XM2go product called the MiFi (but he's waiting for his Inno)
Satellite radio is my weapon of choice



.

Just picked mine up last week... after an MP3 dump to it and finding the channels I like and saving them as favorites.... I finally got around to some testing.

Works great at the airport, in the airplane, in the house, in the bathroom , while walking the poochkee's.... what an awesome device.

Gave my wife the streaming login.. she loves it.

Great product.

..got game? Prove it.

Hi Splitter, Welcome to the forums.

I'm still loving mine too. We'll see what if anything comes of the XM/Sirius merger announced last week.

Dang. That looks pretty sweet.

I got the car kit today.... I'm not too terribly thrilled with the mounting options. I have an '06 Mazda 3s, and there isn't much room to put it.

I think I'll mount it using the gluey thingy in the middle of the radio console, between the two big knobs (there isn't anything inbetween). It is far enough out not to interfere with the radio controls... but without the Inno actually in the cradle, it looks odd.

Gonna install it and the antenna tomorrow on my day off..... I'll post pictures if I like the install.
