Sirius' S50 Wins High Praise As A Best Product Design

June 29, 2006

Sirius satellite Radios S50 has won some high praise. Today in a Businessweek Online article, the hardware was recognized as one of the panels favorite products.

Article Excerpt:

BEAUTY AND EASE. ZIBA had the most wins of any single design consultancy—four medals, three of them golds. It won a gold research-strategy award for one of the jury's favorite products, the Sirius S50 satellite radio (SIRI). This product reinvented the prevailing idea of satellite radio by simplifying the experience while allowing people to save and manage the music they get from satellite. "They put it all together so well," said juror Alistair Hamilton, vice-president for corporate design and human interfaces at Symbol Technologies. "Now you can take your satellite music with you and manage it."

If the panel was impressed with the S50, they are sure to be impressed by Sirius' next offering due out this summer. The Stiletto will sport a "live wearable" mode, more memory, WIFI capability, and some other intersting capabilities that have not yet been announced.
