In what has been described as a device similar to XM's XM2Go services, this new system would allow a user to preload the unit with content including songs, video, graphics, and text. This device would then allow that user to play "intelligent streams" even when a signal is not available. Plans are also in place that would permit users of the new device to purchase songs that they wish to store more permanetly."</i><br /><br />Sigh... When will <a href="http://www.rambus.com/">these companies</a> learn that innovation breeds success, not patents.
