Baffled,
You hit the nail on the head. I have both services and you could not have said it better.....
One note on the portable players. As far as hardware goes, Xm seems to be out in front on this issue. If your looking for a portable that receives live content on the go, you may want to wait until March. Xm has new players coming out. Pioneer is coming out with the Inno and Samsung is coming out with the Helix. Just from looking from pictures, they look very good. Much smaller than the myfi and with a color screen and able to record up to 50 hours versus the 5 with the mifi. Xm has one additional player coming out but will only receive live content only while docked.
I would be more concerned with the programming versus the hardware. Think cell phones, its mostly about the network. You can have a great phone but if the service is poor, the great phone become an expensive paperweight.
Hope this helps.
