If this story is true and XM is truly readying a portable video player it could prove to be a serious competitor to the PSP and Video iPod. The device will be capable of receiving satellite video signals that can be used to broadcast anything, from TV shows to full-length movies. The player was reportedly hinted at recently by a Bears Stearn analyst and could be hitting shelves before the 2006 holiday season. It would be portable, just like current mobile satellite-radio ready devices, and not require buying another copy of a movie like the PSP did or downloading and syncing like the Video iPod does. This could just be rumor but would be excellent if true.
