Default Hello HD RADIO, WE'RE NOT WOWED!

the wow factor with HD radio? This is radio's big release! their big hit and
future! You can't walk into Best Buy and hear a dozen or so great sounding
stations.


Um no offense but...

1) not all stations sound the same. some have actual shows that will
play music that isn't exactly innovative but the shows can be
good...there's some hd stations now with radio shows that stream
online...having wifi in cars might be the future with this but it can
take awhile. Boston for example is presumed to be a very wired city
with all the colleges and everything but yet four years after planning
it they still don't..there's a chance that after the analog ota tv
channels sunset that more spectrum will allow this maybe...

You can buy mobile broadband from Verizon or Sprint.

I have both, and need both as the coverage is erratic on both. The unlimited
service costs me a total of about $2,000 a year. That is a bit more than
most people will pay to stream audio.

Then you really are a stupid high-school dropout - my kid has an
iPhone, and unlimitied Internet is only $20 extra/month.

The specific reference was to Sprint and Verizon mobile EVDO mobile
broadband, not to the iPhone which is on the AT&T network.

The iPhone internet is very, very, excruciatingly, slow. It's comparable at
best to a decent 28.8 dial up. And you have to pay the base phone charge
plus the device. $400 plus about $80 a month is the end cost for very slow
internet connections.
