SIRIUS SATELLITE RADIO (SIRI)

Sirius Satellite Radio plans to release its first portable media
player this fall, as it continues battling with rival XM Satellite
Radio for share of the fledgling market. The Sirius S50 can
receive and store up to 50 hours of commercial-free radio content,
as well as play MP3 and WMA media files while on the go. When
attached to a docking station, the S50 provides access to live
content and captures scheduled programming. The unit is scheduled
to be available in retail stores in October with a suggested price
of $359.99.

Sirius has also introduced two new compact and user-friendly "plug
and play" radios for vehicles, which are scheduled to be available
at retail this October. The Starmate Replay, at 5 by 1.9 inches
and 0.8 inches thick, weighs just 3.9 ounces and comes with all
accessories for the car. It will retail for $129.99, with an
optional home kit available for a suggested retail price of
$39.99. The Sirius One, at 2.8 by 4.5 inches and 0.8 inches thick,
weighs just 5 ounces. The small, sleek design and reversible
display, allows the Sirius One to be placed on the visor, dash or
console, and is expected to retail for $79.99, including a remote
control and low-profile antenna.

In addition to its new-product announcements this week, Sirius
also plans to introduce traffic data services from 22 major U.S.
metropolitan areas beginning this November. The satellite radio
provider expects to expand the service to more than 50
metropolitan areas by 2007.
