Samsung YP-X5Z (1 GB) MP3 Player

I was dismayed when my husband announced last week that he was ALREADY ready to upgrade his XM radio. We had only had XM since last October, so the good old Roady2 was hardly broken in!!! What gives with needing a "better" one?

Well, as things often do, the technology man explains the benefits of the new offering by Samsung. You would think he was trying to offer his homely daughter up for marriage to the first Prince of XMville!

Whatever!

We go together to purchase the new xm2go and the salesman adds to my husband's ferver with tales of freedom...true freedom..you can record programs off XM Radio, you can listen to them while you perform all those mundane "honey-do's", etc. etc.

OK, my husband was sold BEFORE he walked in the door...no amount of sales pitch will sell me, so let's just get on with it already!!!

With the little treasure properly paid for and wrapped in swaddling (oops...I mean in the bag), we head out the door...and into FREEDOM!!!

OK, all silliness aside, the unit operates EXACTLY as advertised. It comes with the home kit standard.. The car kit is extra, but who wouldn't get that? In less than 20 minutes, the new "kid on the block" was programmed and ready for action! My husband listened to his favorite (the comedy) channel. He then recorded some of the show. We then took the new little one for a "spin around the block". She, again, performed to perfection!

Since she was activated, I have had relative silence in the house....my husband turns on xm2go, pops in the earbuds and he is off!!! Off to work on the computer, walk up the hill to get the mail, or to sit in a chair looking out the window...it doesn't mattter. I hear his chuckling as he listens to his favorite channel and know that I have, indeed, found FREEDOM!!!

Since I am not into the radio, which is an mp/3 player and recorder, I will have to rely on my husband's assessment of the SAMSUNG NEXUS 50 xm2go...the first to use the new technology to allow total portability in XM listening pleasure. He is 100% satisfied!
