Then the backorder delays started. Then reports of RIAA-hobbling started to drift in. After using the device for nearly a week, I have to say my friend and neighbor Lance was right- it's a big disappointment."</i><br /><br /><img src="http://www.digitalmediathoughts.com/images/Sirius_S50.jpg" /><br /><br />This is rather disappointing news for anyone interested in the S50. Personally I would prefer to see Sirius and XM Radio access integrated into existing portable devices instead of choosing purpose-built models.
