So does this work exactly like a walkman? Or do you have to stand outside with satellite view and an antenna hanging on your neck to receive anything on it?

Yep, you can use it like a walkman. Back when I was in Boston a while ago, we got clear XM reception the whole way under the tunnel which went under the bay. They are really powerful.

I look like a dork enough as it is - hanging an antenna around my neck would make me Super Dork - and I'd have to wear a D on my chest ;-)

I found out what I had always suspected about mifi. You need to stand outdoors to get live reception - else you can record 5 hours like tivo. Plus it's big like a cassette walkman.

That could be touted as "Content that never grows old like your mp3 player" - but I have always discovered something good to hear in my iPOD - and it's smaller - plus I can podcast.

Mifi - until later - :)

I don't like this thing. Reception is bad unless you want to actually wear an antenna ala Al Franken in his SNL days.

It's cool you can record but it's a pain and it's like recording a radio.

Tried to sell it to a buddy and he passed. Lowering my price to a case of beer. Buying an IPOD ASAP.
