XM Passport debuts at CES

XM PassportQuick, what's about the size of a postage stamp, costs almost 100 times more and tunes in satellite radio from 26,000 miles away? If you said the XM Passport receiver, then you'd be correct. (I'll take portable sat radio for $100, Alex). The XM Passport is a pint-sized portable XM tuner in a package just 1.3-inches wide, 1.65-inches long and under a half-inch thick. The Passport plugs into a special dock or in a port that we'll see on XM-capable receivers from a number of manufacturers.

The new tuner will set you back $30 when it arrives in the spring, but you'll have to match that with another $30 for a dock. You can save a few bucks if you grab a new Samsung NEXUS XM/MP3 player, since the Passport tuner is included.
