Wouldn't help me for one of the principal uses of this type of device... working out. The YMCA I go to has all the TV's broadcast audio over FM, so if I want to listen to one of hte TVs in lieu of music, I need FM.

An XM/Sirius tuner would be a nice touch. From the size of the XM/Sirius devices sold, I doubt combining the two would yield anything that could be called 'compact'.

IMO, the value of XM/Sirius is inversely proportional to the size of the city you live in and the amount of time you spend in that city.

Living in a medium city (250,000) and traveling often... traditional FM radio is pretty marginal in terms of value.

Ahhh, thats cool that they do that! I do think an AM/FM tuner should be included in all players. It is a only a matter of time till the Sat technology shrinks to fit smaller devices.
