Amazon.com Product Description:
With the release of the Stiletto 2, Sirius ushers in the next personal music player revolution. With a slim and sleek profile smaller than a video iPod, the ultra-portable Sirius Stiletto 2 satellite radio receiver features a built-in antenna that allows reception of the Sirius signal without the need for an external car or home docking station. This handheld receiver offers users up to 100 hours of internal storage of live satellite program and music feeds. It also can handle MP3 and WMA files, enabling you to mix Sirius content with your own personal music collection. When coupled with an optional vehicle or home docking kit, you can broadcast both Sirius radio and digital audio files over any FM stereo via the built-in transmitter (adapter required). 
The sleek and stylish Stiletto 2 can play both Sirius broadcasts and MP3s. View larger. | 
With its compact design, the Stiletto 2 lets you experience Sirius internet radio on the go. | The compact Stiletto 2 MP3 player is a 4.3-ounce portable radio that is capable of receiving live Sirius broadcasts via both satellite and Wi-Fi signals. Internal flash memory is used to store Sirius content as well as MP3/WMA files for non-live playback. Listeners can easily bookmark songs and tag favorite songs for later purchase using any Windows-based online music service. Additionally, the Stiletto 2 supports removable microSD flash memory cards to enable users to conveniently expand usable memory space. MP3 and WMA files also can be stored on the Stiletto 2 and managed with the included My Sirius Studio software. The Stiletto 2 is compatible with most music download and subscription services. The enhanced Wi-Fi capability of the Stiletto 2 permits access to standard Sirius Internet Radio (SIR) or, for an additional subscription charge, SIR's premium audio quality offering. SIR gives subscribers access to more than 80 channels of Sirius Satellite Radio content on the Internet, including Howard Stern's two channels, Martha Stewart Living Radio, Sirius OutQ, and commercial-free music programming. Sirius also selected Altec Lansing to develop the new antenna headphones for the Stiletto 2. Featuring large 30-mm drivers for full-spectrum acoustics and an adjustable headband for increased user comfort, the new Altec Lansing antenna headphones can deliver hours of listening enjoyment in absolute comfort and crystal clear audio clarity. Other features of the Stiletto 2 include a brilliant 2.2-inch color display, a handy media dial, and a six-way navigation control that provides easy one-handed access to all features and content. Thrown in for added convenience are Sirius Replay, which allows users to pause, rewind, and replay up to 60 minutes of live radio programming; Game Alert, which allows listeners to track favorite sports team and drive broadcasts and alerts when scores change; and Game Zone, which provides a listing of the user's favorite teams in one virtual category. Parents also have control over usable channels with the parental channel lockout feature. Measuring 1.9 x 4.3 x 0.6 inches, the Stiletto 2 weighs in at a scant 4.3 ounces. About Sirius

Content: great I love this thing I can listen to Howard Stern whenever I want
Summary: sirius stiletto
Rating - 5 Date: 2008-08-27
Content: This Sirius receiver is great because it is so versatile. Put your own music on an SD card and you have your favorite tunes when you don't have Sirius reception. Want to listen to Sirius music when you don't have reception? No problem. This thing automatically records whenever it is on. I leave mine on in the car at night so I have fresh music the next day in the office. You can schedule recordings too but unfortunately the receiver does not turn itself on to catch your schedule. Add in the facts that it is mobile, you can listen to Sirius anywhere you have wifi access, and of course, in your car with the car kit, and you have awesome versatility. The battery life is also great. I've never even gotten close to a low battery and I listen to it all day. And I haven't experienced any bugs.
Summary: Greatly Versatile Receiver/player

Content: Easy to set up. Easy to navigate and understand. With the SD slot you can store a great percentage of most music libraries. Nice size and has a sharp clean look to it. The WIFI feature works great and was easy to set up. Although don't expect CD quality when listening to that feature.
Drawbacks are:
Biggest drawback is the internal radio receiver. Very bad reception even out doors. I spend a lot of time outside biking and hiking and was disappointed by the reception fading in and out no matter where I am outside. I have to wear the bulky and ugly headphones. The headphones improve the reception but are not comfortable. I was hoping to use it in the gym also but nothing keeps the signal strong enough to hear live radio when working out indoors.
Software to transfer music is primitive and a little slow but does its basic job well.
Overall I would recommend the Stiletto 2 because there no better choices out there and the drawbacks don't detract enough from the appeal or functionality of the product
Summary: Nice radio but has its draw backs

Content: I've had it almost a year now. It kept shutting down on it's own, and they sent me a replacement under warranty. I think the on/off switch just wore out, I used the unit nearly every day. So hooray for the warranty. Problem is, the unit and it's firmware (the embedded, onboard operating software) just have so many little tricks and bugs and shortfalls. Over the year, I've learned how to deal with these things, how to reinstall the firmware, how to avoid crashes and how to increase the odds that my planned recordings will work. It's all so damn frustrating. I love what the unit is trying to do, and I love the sirius content, so I NEED this little gadget for my daily life. But, simply put, it is alot of work to live with. I still love it though, but there are times I'ev wanted to whip it under a steamroller. Word to the wise: This is not something that your grandma can operate, it takes a tech saavy youth to maintain and keep this puppy operating.

Content: This is a great portable satellite radio as well as an MP3 player.
I love the one button record option and the ability to rewind if listening to a talk show.
I waited for quite a while to buy it and read all of the reviews. Some people complained about poor reception but mine works great. I use it while roller blading and driving in the car.
Summary: The best of both worlds
