Just curious what you guys think about Satelite radio and the threat of wireless internet on phones, etc. I just set up my HTC Touch Pro to stream audio off the net as well as the gazillion internet stations. Since you can set up Shoutcast at home, etc as well you could be streaming your own audio from home onto your car radio system too. I'm assuming you can stream audio with the iPhones as well.

The only place I could see wanting to have Satelite radio is if you are in a remote location where its difficult to get cellular coverage. I know my internet connection is better than the Satelite - every time I go under some trees, buildings, bridges, etc it cuts out but not the internet....
