ZING - Satellite Radio Goes With You


ZING is mobilizing a new generation of mobile audio and entertainment devices that are always connected so you can always stay tuned. With ZING software and services, your mobile experience goes far beyond simple playback. ZING brings you quality real-time streams and two-way connections that let you discover, play, and collect new music wherever you go, whenever you want.

If you can’t bear to part with Howard Stern and Martha Stewart when it is time to get out of the car and leave your Sirius radio, take them with you. The Stiletto SL100, Sirius’s new portable satellite radio, offers live reception in pocket-size form, as well as Wi-Fi connectivity for listening to live Internet radio whenever you’re in range of a wireless network.

The Stiletto 100, available at retailers and expected soon at shop.sirius.com for $350, can store up to 100 hours of live Sirius programming. The device’s two-gigabyte drive can also store and play songs in the MP3 or WMA formats and is compatible with many Windows-based online music services.

Measuring 4.7 inches high by 2 inches wide and an inch thick, the Stiletto 100 has a 2.2-inch color display. Kits for car or home use are available for about $70 each. Listeners can jump around among 30 preset channels, pause and rewind live radio, and even receive alerts when favorite sporting events are being broadcast — or when scores change, which could come in handy during football season.

Tim Bucher is leading the Zing team and he assembled an extraordinary team with many of the technical rock stars from Moxi, WebTV Networks and Apple. Another beautiful product is Zing's integration with Yahoo! Music - wow thing!

I'm really not surprised that Dell wanted Zing all to themselves.

btw Worldspice India, are ya listening?
