XM is heating up the competition for portable satellite radio players by offering a new player called XpressRC. Delphi will be manufacturing the player itself and the offerings aren’t too shabby at all. You’ll find it has a split screen so you can have your favorites stations to choose from as well as your current song information displayed at the same time.

The XpressRC will also have a 60-minute recording buffer so you can rewind and listen to that David Bowie track you heard 24 minutes ago. You can store a paltry 10 songs on the player as well. Big whoop. Look for it this fall at most electronic retailers for $170.
