A Look At the XM SkyFi 3
SkyFi 3: A Hands-On Look(via
www.orbitcast.com and
www.xm411.com)
The boys over at XM411
have the first hands-on look at the upcoming
SkyFi 3, along with a nice quick review of the unit. Some of the features described are what we saw
earlier, but there's a few additional things that we didn't know about.
Here's the rundown:
This is Delphi's first unit since the release of the Inno/Helix.
The 2.8" screen the largest of any plug-and-play satellite radio receiver.
Screen display flips between horizontal and vertical with press of a button.
The SkyFi3 allows for 30-minutes of pause/replay functionality. The 30-minutes of replay gets saved even with the power turned off (sweet!), so you can just power up and keep listening.
The 10-hours of XM recording is separate from the 2Gb microSD storage - where you store your own digital music collection. (No doubt this is to appease the RIAA)
You can create hybrid-playlists between the XM content and the microSD content, but you can't copy the XM content to the microSD card.
No internal antenna, but it does have an internal battery. With the optional Standard Wearable Kit, you get a live-wearable unit but with 90-minutes of listening.
The optional Premium Live Wearable Kit gives 7-hours of XM listening (longer than the Inno/Helix) and 40-hours (!) of pre-recorded playback time.
Very impressive, and a great review (plus a ton of pics).
