Published sales demographics and even advertising approach show that the iPod has universal appeal, particularly in the 30 and under, while satellite radio has captured very little of the under 30 market. I am not saying that 30 is old, but the stats I've seen group 30-40 and I would not qualify 40 as the "youth" market. It’s not an ageist slant.

Why the agist slant? How about, "…a niche market for people who haven’t joined the iPod revolution?" I agree that there are "old people" who are out of touch. There are also "young people" who are out of touch, as well. ;) You state that you think “satellite radio is flawed; a niche market for old people who haven’t joined the iPod revolution.” Why the agist slant?

They aren't the only media giant in the country... :) J,

What does Clearchannel have to do with your choice of whether or not you listen to the radio?… They aren’t the only media giant in the country… :)

I bought it originally with birthday money in December thinking it was cool. Very rarely do I turn the damn thing on because I hear one good song and 9 crap songs most of the time...granted once I hear a song on the radio I can save it in my favorites and anytime it plays it will automatically jump over to the station playing it. The only time I actually do listen to it is when I go on a trip somewhere so I can listen to my beloved Padres but other than that my DJ plugs directly into my stero via the auxilary port. The only thing that bugs me about the mp3 player is that I bought the 5 gig thinking Ill never fill it up, and here I am now about 5 songs away from filling it up with about 25 songs sitting on my hard drive to add. I wish I had splurged on the 20 gig. As both a purchaser of sattelite radio and owning an MP3 player that is not made by apple, I would have to agree with you about sattelite radio.

However, don't you think that sometimes by peeking at what's on the radio you might find something you haven't heard that you may end up liking instead of cycling the same songs on your iPod? By listening to the radio you aren't surrendering your free will to Clear Channel (or whomever), you are simply choosing to see what else is out there. In the end, what you listen to is always your choice. I see your point.
