MusicBiz is reports that XM is about to offer a new high-tech toy – receivers capable of storing up to 30 minutes of a live broadcast to play back at a later time. MusicBiz also says that early next year Sirius will respond with a receiver that can download programming from the Net for playback in areas where signals cannot reach.
Both services also keep adding smaller and smaller receivers. The newest XM model weighs less than four ounces, with micro-antennas that are smaller than a quarter.
