Toronto, ON, September 28, 2006: Sirius Canada has announced the availability of the long anticipated Stiletto 100: its first "live" portable radio, featuring WiFi, Yahoo! music purchasing software, and the ability to save music for playback later. Measuring 4.7" x 2" x 1", Stiletto 100 stores up to 100 hours of live Sirius Satellite Radio programming on 2 GB of embedded memory; and has a 2.2" LCD, Aurora graphic user interface, and a six-way navigation control that provides easy one handed access to all features and content. The Stiletto 100, which Sirius advises will become available at select retailers in Canada before the holidays, allows users listen to live Sirius programming anywhere its terrestrial or satellite signals can be pulled in. Housed in a package about the size of a hard-disc-based MP3 player, the Stiletto 100 allows users to store up to 100 hours of Sirius content by: automatically recording hours of music from listeners' favourite channels; scheduling recordings up to six hours long of any program; and allowing users to save up to 10 hours of individual songs from live Sirius Satellite Radio broadcasts by a simple press of the "love" button. The Stiletto 100 incorporates the Sirius Universal Connector, which will enable use in a wide variety of audio systems and accessories being developed by partner manufacturers.
With WiFi capability, users can pull in limited Sirius programming in locations where the signal can't reach, so long as there is an accessible WiFi network available. Sirius' Online Listening provides subscribers with access to more than 60 of Sirius' music channels, plus Howard Stern's two channels, Martha Stewart Living Radio, OutQ, and other original talk programming. The user's own audio files (in MP3/WMA format) can also be stored on the Stiletto 100 and managed with the included My SIRIUS Studio software for Windows PCs. Stiletto 100 is compatible with most Windows-based Internet music providers' download and subscription services, says the firm. The Yahoo! Music Jukebox software will be included with the Stiletto 100 package. Any individual song bookmarked by the user on the Stiletto 100 is moved into a favourites list, which can be accessed by a PC application when the unit is connected to user's computer. The application allows users to look up and purchase songs, full albums, or explore artists' other offerings through the Yahoo! Music Jukebox software, or other compatible online music download or subscription services. Once the song is purchased or rented, it can be transferred onto the Stiletto 100. Other features include 30 channel presets; Sirius Replay (which allows users to pause, rewind and replay 60 minutes of live radio); "Game Alert" (which prompts the listener when favourite games are being broadcast and alerts when scores change); "Game Zone" (a listing all of the users favourite teams in one virtual category); parental controls and channel lockout. For C$449.99 at retail, the Stiletto 100 will include the radio, standard battery, slim battery, AC power adaptor, vehicle kit, headset antenna, ear buds, PC cable, My SIRIUS Studio software and Yahoo! Music Jukebox software. A home kit (C$99.99), additional vehicle kit (C$99.99), executive system (C$199.99), additional batteries and headphones, and other accessories will also be available.
