Here is a copy of the (Unfinished) user manual for the MyFI from XM411

I think I'm still going Skyfi2. The Myfi is really cool and I would love to have it but $349 is a little more then my wife will let me spend
. If it was $199 I would jump on it in a second.
Although with everything that comes with the Myfi the price may not be that bad. If you look at it a Skyfi 2 is going for $130 + $70 for a carkit + $70 for the home kit your already at $290. And the Myfi gives you 5 hours of scheduled recording versus the what 30 minute buffer for the Skyfi 2.

Does anyone think Sirius will come out with their own version of this? I'm just asking out of curiosity. LOL
XM Myfi
Hey people, I didn't want to spike the punch. But I would not get excited over the MyFi just yet. Back in March 2003 when I first got XM, I had to wait two whole weeks before I was able to enjoy it. The reason being is that after numerous attempts of configurements, I could not get the antenna to face south when I put it outside, the windows in my condominium all faced NNW. Thus, I had to use the 50' extension cord to get the antenna outside and facing south, on the roof. When I was finally able to get channel 1 with the 3-bar signal strength, that's when I activated it. Anyway, My point is, I may have to go through the same aggrevation just to make sure "the MyFi is facing south in open air". What am I supposed to do, bring a compass when I run on the beach? or when I ride my bike to and from work? (the iPod suits me well). I'm not going to bet on a 'percieved messiah of portable audio' just yet. Until then, the SkyFi2 is a definite buy for me.
