99 bucks
No preexisting wireless network needed
Access to far, far more stations than any HD receiver will provide

Except Wireless Internet is extremely expensive, not free like HD or
analog Radio.

Also it appears it won't work outside of your home. Thus HD or Analog
radio is still the only option for car travel.

"Automotive PCs will connect through regular cellular phone signals.
But makers expect the in-car systems to eventually move to Wi-Max -
high-powered Wi-Fi that blankets broadband access across cities - over
the next few years."

Steve,

I would agree - Sprint is rolling out nation-wide WiMax and once that
gets substantial coverage, it is over for terrestrial and HD Radio.
Jerry Del Colliano gives terrestrial radio another 20 years before
"the sticks" become obsolete. HD Radio is a non-starter, as other
technologies are moving forward at lightening speeds. Ford's point-of-
sale, dealer-installed HD Radio will also be a non-starter, as Ford is
offering Sync, as a standard feature across all of it premium
vehicles, which constuitute 40% of its sales. Otherwise, Sync is a
$300 factory-installed option, less than HD Radio at $279 + $50
installation fee. Even though Ford is offering HD Radio, customers
have to pay directly for installation - Ford owns Visteon which makes
HD radios, and Ford is an investor in iBiquity. LOL!
