I've seen many posts about the ipod and pros and cons about it. Instead of comparing it to other mp3 players, I am more curious about the portable satellite player. For school this fall, i am looking for something to listen to for studying, exercising, etc.

I like the fact that i can pick what music i want to listen to on the ipod, but i think i prefer the idea of "radio." With the mifi, i can get commercial free music, talk radio, sports, and other programs. I am concerned, though, about the reception, and i'm not to big on the monthly subscription (although only 13 bucks a month)

So, basically i am wondering if anyone is using the mifi, and do you like it? Also did anyone consider the mifi and went with the ipod? Until they combine the two, i am stuck deciding.
