stiletto2Streaming music and MP3 player in one – where ever you go – home, out and about, in the car. In town, in the middle of nowhere. That’s the Stiletto 2.

The Stiletto 2 offers the best of all worlds for the not-so-hardcore music junkie who has a large, perhaps aging, MP3 collection, but needs to freshen things up a bit.

Like your typical MP3 player, the Stiletto holds 2 GB of MP3s. Not huge, but enough to carry ample alternatives. As a matter of fact, you can drag and drop your existing iTunes collection right to the Stiletto.

With the included antenna headphones, you can pick up the satellite channels anywhere outside. Or simply switch to your MP3 library. Though I don’t use this feature much, you can record the satellite stream and playback later.

If you’re inside a building with WIFI, you can pickup the satellite music via easy to configure WIFI receiver built in. Use the included earbuds too.

There are various accessories as well, including the car docking station, which is great for traveling.

The Stilletto 2 is the second generation of this design and works well. It’s available on both Sirius and XM services.

This is my third portable satellite radio receiver and the best one I have seen. For the casual iPod user, it provides similar functionality and then some. At around $200 after rebates, its a bit more than your basic MP3 player, but the price is justified by the great feature set.
