A. What does this do to your 5 gig per month limit, B. PSP has had this for quite awhile, you just need a wifi connection nearby. C. I slurp down Realaudio talk radio streams on my linux box and push them to my psp and rockbox ipod as mp3s and oggs. The only thing keeping this from being mainstream is government and riaa crotchetiness, the old dinosaur codgers that they all are. Podcasts are considered downloads by the government idiocracy that governs music, and thus are prohibitively expensive to use music on. D. Radio has been declared dead more times than any other medium aside from maybe books. It was dead when TV came along and replaced radio variety shows, it moved to music. AM radio was declared dead when FM radio stations came along, it moved to talk radio. It's been declared dead about satellite, CDs, Ipods, 8-tracks, cassettes, etc, yet it still lives.
I think the next step is for them to nail down digital radio so they can offer the same variety as the sat and ipods...
