I bought this product last week. It is a great mp3 player but almost unusable when using it as a xm walkman due to the poor reception. I believe they are coming out with an antenna on the headphones to help improve this issue. Until they do I just load music from my computer and listen to that on my walks

Not sure about your experiences – recieved one for Christmas and I live in Southern Ontario – no issues with reception outdoors – even took it in the car without the car kit – was able to get a full signal about 70 percent of the time will driving down the 401 towards London (again, with no car kit, just the units antenna). Inside, I get a signal (full) in my living room with the unit sitting on the fireplace mantel – the antenna from the home kit is at least 6′ from the closest window. From the ipod aspect, I have one – don’t expect a satellite radio to replace all of the ipods features – so in a nutshell, it works for me……

Just an opinion……..

They sent me one as well, and I’m also a Mac user. I wonder what percentage of the people who got them were the same?

Not true. They want honest reviews. I did a product review on my blog awhile back and was just moderately positive and I haven’t been swag blacklisted yet.

“3 Pillars of iPodishness”??!?!? OUSA applauds this form of measurement.

Also…good review, but i agree that you have just killed your chances at cooler swag in the future.

As an honest reviewer, are you sending the product back to the vendor now?

You failed the test. You could’ve sold out and given a grand review of the product, thereby ensuring many future products sent your way for free. Instead, you chose to be honest. You’ve aborted your career as a product reviewer.
