Another review that completely misses the point and tries to regulate the Nexus wrongly to stepchild status of the 2nd generation XM portables. Who cares if it's not live outside of the car/home cradle? The POINT is to walk around with HOURS of music and that's exactly what you can do with the Nexus 25/50 models. On my old myfi/Aireware 2go units, the signal would drop out, plus if a song came I disliked, I would have to switch the channel which was a bit of a hassle when you are exercising or on the go. When I'm out with my new Nexus, I have all the songs I have previously recorded when I was watching tv, doing stuff or sleeping so I know I don't have to SKIP any songs because you can create playlists and edit them on the nexus. So no live mode on the go is not the sharpest of points to be making. Also I don't need a color display, the Nexus display is very clear and sharp. You can adjust the screen. You have an equalizer etc. The Nexus besides not having a color display, no tuneselect or live mode on the go does practically EXACTLY what the Inno or Helix does for a MUCH lower price! I got mine for $99! You can spend $250 or more if you want to on the color models but for now, no thanks! I'm happy with my Nexus! :D
