Hi.
I never used one but i found some information on the net about it. Apparently it's a portable satelite radio with good sound quality and it doesn't need a satelite dish to work. Does anyone know more about it?
Thanks
Nikos

If I'm not mistaken, world space is a worldwide satellite system, whereas xm only offers coverage throughout the 48 contenental US states and southern Canada. I didn't know they were developing portable radios for this system, but that would be cool. As with any satellite system though, especially when u attempt to use a reciever without some sort of dish, you have to be in direct line of sight with the satellite, or it won't work. Other than that, there isn't a lot I can give u as far as specific information on this radio goes.
