XM Radio Launches MyFi Portable Player

The Delphi MyFi is the first personal, portable XM2GO satellite radio that delivers XM's Ultimate PlayList anytime, anywhere - at home, at work, in the car and now, on the go.





The hand-held Delphi MyFi gives users the personal freedom to enjoy XM Radio's Ultimate PlayList of more than 130 digital XM channels in two ways: a "live" listening mode and a time-shifting "memory" mode. The MyFi's live mode enables users to listen live to all of XM's 68 commercial-free music channels, plus premier news, sports, talk, traffic and weather channels. MyFi's memory mode — called "My XM" — allows users to store five hours or more of XM's outstanding content with the press of a button, even when the unit is not in use. The MyFi makes it possible to enjoy XM Satellite Radio anywhere, anytime, effortlessly.

XM also announced today that superstar Elton John will be featured in the national TV advertising campaign to launch the MyFi. The TV spot directed by award-winning music video director and photographer David LaChapelle is a humorously surreal celebrity "slice of life," which follows Elton as he travels from place to place listening to his new hit song "Answer in the Sky" from his critically-acclaimed album Peachtree Road on his Delphi MyFi satellite radio.
