Sirius Releases New Toys In Time For the Holidays

Sirius Satellite Radio (SIRI) and Sonos have collaborated to provide Sirius subscribers with an exciting new way to wirelessly stream Sirius all over the house and control it all from the palm of their hand.

Sonos connects directly to Sirius Internet Radio which will eliminate the need for an antenna, satellite radio hardware, or a PC. Sonos is the first broadband-delivered, PC-free solution designed specifically for home use.

With the Sonos controller you can chose a room, channel, and hit play in up to 32 rooms. As part of the out-of-the-box experience, Sonos customers will automatically receive a free 30-day trial to Sirius Internet Radio.

Make sure you check out the Sonos Demo.

Measuring in at 1.9″w x 4.3″l x 0.6″d, weighing 4.3 oz., and with a 2.2″ color display, the all new Stiletto 2 is Sirius’s next shot at that portable audio entertainment market… you know, that other market the NAB says Sirius does not compete in.

The all new Stiletto, like the original model, has the ability to receive live Satellite Radio, Internet Radio and is said to include capabilities that surpass the leading MP3 players Enhanced WiFi capability. The most notable improvement is the smaller package, with its lack of battery bulge and slimmer design the critics might be a little kinder this time around.

Other notable features include…

* Support for Sirius Internet Radio’s premium audio offering.
* Removable microSD media slot for expanded storage of MP3/WMA files
* Easy storage and management of MP3/WMA files
* Bookmark and purchase songs through any compatible online music service
* Enhanced WiFi capability, providing faster access to a larger number of networks and support for commercial WiFi hotspots.

The new Sirius Stiletto 2 will be available this Fall… just in time for the holidays (MSRP: $349).
