XM radio offers an incredible selection of music,
sports, talk, and more.
So how did they get a complete satellite receiver into a device that
measures 3.7 x 2.2 x 0.6 inches? By using an advanced
satellite/terrestrial internal antenna that allows the device to
receive signals from anywhere. The device is light, too, weighing in
at just 4.5 ounces. The unit's full-color, 180 x 180 TFT display, as
well as a user-friendly interface, make it easy to save and delete
content. In addition to making it easy to find the music you want to
listen to quickly, the interface lets you build your own playlists
right on the device that consist of XM radio content and your own
digital music. Another cool feature is the Helix's built-in memory
buffer, which allows you to save an entire XM radio song even if you
decide to save it in the middle of the song. The Helix's internal
memory supports up to 50 hours of saved content.
Featuring a full
array of programming -- from talk shows, comedy programs, and live
Major League Baseball broadcasts to just about every musical genre
from bluegrass to jazz -- XM Radio is the fastest growing satellite
radio network in the world. All XM metadata is displayed on the
Helix's display, including full song title and artist name, as well as
information extras such as stock and sports score tickers. The device
also sports a category list for saving and accessing favorite
channels.
Another great feature of the Helix is TuneSelect, which
alerts you when one of your favorite artists or songs is being played
on an XM channel. Plus, the Helix supports the XM + Napster music
service. If you hear a song you like on XM radio, simply "tag" it and
easily purchase and download that artist or song via Napster. It's a
great way to discover and own the music you like. And last, but
certainly not least, the Helix features an integrated wireless FM
transmitter so you can beam XM content to any FM radio frequency,
making it very easy to listen to XM content on any home or car
stereo.
