It seems that some people are posting false rumors that the Delphi MyFi
is nothing more than a portable MP3 player. This is just a bunch of
nonsense. You can read a "hands-on review" at the link below. It is
truly a portable satellite receiver that DOES work when not hooked up to
the car or home cradle. Not only does it INCLUDE an internal antenna, it
also INCLUDES a small external clip-on antenna for portable use. You
also get a car kit antenna and a home kit antenna.

Brief quotes from the review: "The MyFi not only improves on XM
Satellite Radio receiver technology by making it smaller, lighter and
now completely portable with its integrated battery and antenna, but it
also does something only TiVo-style PVR’s and other MP3 player users
have enjoyed for years; the ability to record and time-shift audio
programming." "At first glance, the $349 MSRP may stop a few of you in
your tracks, but with all the hardware that is included in the package,
you simply cannot go wrong. You get the MyFi itself, which can be used
on its own. In an effort to provide users with a complete home, office,
vehicle, and personal solution, the package also includes a home and car
docking kit each with their own specialized antenna and power supply, a
clip-on personal antenna, a remote control, belt-clip, protective case,
an audio cable, rechargeable battery, cassette adapter, ear bud
headphones, and a variety of mounts for the car."
