Sirius Announces Wearable Satellite Radio

"Sirius Satellite Radio has announced the debut of its first wearable satellite radio, the Sirius S50, which allows users to capture and store up to 50 hours of Sirius content, or a mix of Sirius programming and MP3/WMA files, enabling listening on the go. The Sirius S50 is scheduled to be available at retail this October.

The Sirius S50 measures just 1.9 by 3.9 inches and 0.7 inches thick, and includes a full color display, sleek black exterior and voice-assisted channel navigation.

When attached to a home dock, car dock or executive docking station, the Sirius S50 provides easy access to live content, and captures and stores both scheduled and unscheduled Sirius programming. This feature allows users to listen to Sirius' unique programming anywhere.

The Sirius S50 stores content in a variety of formats for listening on the go, including "My Sirius Channels," "My Sirius Songs," "Scheduled Record," and "My Playlists." - PhysOrg
