Sirius XM proves its worth this week with Winter Music Conference broadcasts
Posted on March 23, 2010 | No CommentsThere's one week per year that there's reason to listen to Sirius XM beyond XM Channel 202 The Virus. That's right, it's Winter Music Conference time, a time when the world's top DJs and producers descend upon Miami and have themselves a good ol' Dionysian time. House music, trance, progressive, Dutch tourists trying to find food that won't kill them, etc. It's a good example of what satellite radio could have been.

Motorola prepping 3G module with support for AT&T and T-Mobile USA alike
Posted on December 10, 2009 | No Comments
T-Mobile's oddball 3G network makes creating a device that simply supports all forms of North American HSPA a challenge for a very simple reason: even triband HSPA radios are still a bit of a novelty, and to support everything we've got going on over here, you effectively need to go quadband since AWS splits its duties between 1700 and 2100MHz. Happily, Motorola is coming to bat here, not with an actual phone but with an 850 / 1900 / AWS radio module that's intended for integration by other OEMs. We're not sure what kinds of devices this particular unit might find duty in, but if nothing else, it gives us confidence that Moto's now able to create phones that effectively straddle the T-Mobile / AT&T fence -- assuming it's got a business case to do so.Motorola prepping 3G module with support for AT&T and T-Mobile USA alike originally appeared on Engadget Mobile on Thu, 10 Dec 2009 21:12:00 EST.

Gigaware dongle brings HD Radio to iPod touch and iPhone for $80
Posted on November 9, 2009 | No CommentsFiled under: Peripherals, Software, Apple, iPhone OS
Up until now, there have been just two ways to get HD Radio in a portable, handheld solution: buy a Zune HD, or opt for Insignia's NS-HD01. As of today, Gigaware is changing all that, and it's hoping to give HD Radio a kick in the pants by opening it up to every single iPod touch and iPhone user in the US. iBiquity's own HD Radio module has been tucked neatly inside the clickwheel dongle you see above, giving any iPhone / iPod touch with iPhone OS 3.0 (or greater) the ability to listen to HD Radio and FM stations in their area. The (now available) adapter itself sells for $79.99 exclusively at RadioShack, while the accompanying app -- which sports a manual tune wheel or auto-seek option, social network integration, bookmarks and iTunes Tagging -- is available to download free of charge. It's a novel idea, sure, but something tells us the limited availability and lofty price tag will keep it from selling like gangbusters.

Public Radio App lets you resume ‘This American Life’ whenever you please
Posted on November 4, 2009 | No CommentsFiled under: Multimedia, Software, Apple, iPhone OS
Now that you've got an NPR-lovin' stereo in your bedroom, the only thing missing in your otherwise completely fulfilled life is an NPR application that enables you to listen to your favorite programs whenever, wherever. If we just rung your bell, you can now drift away and die happy. Available this very moment in the 100,000-strong App Store is the Public Radio App, which essentially acts as a DVR for the iconic station. Once fired up, the app can "pause and rewind public radio streams from NPR, PRI, APM and local public radio stations," and there's even an alarm clock setting that wakes you up with your favorite public radio stream. Unfortunately, on-demand streaming is still a pipe dream, but there's nothing to stop these guys from adding that very feature in the next iteration. Go on -- try and lay off the trigger. It's not like that awfully low $2.99 price point is tempting or anything.Public Radio App lets you resume 'This American Life' whenever you please originally appeared on Engadget Mobile on Wed, 04 Nov 2009 13:02:00 EST.
