This XM/MP3 player lets users listen to and record music, sports or talk radio on XM's 160-channel lineup as well as store and play downloaded music--and then take it all to go. While in the dock, the color screen displays horizontally; when picked up, the display switches to portrait-style. The portable device, which is available in a 1GB model, hit stores in May for $399. It weighs 4.5 ounces, stores up to 50 hours of XM programs and has fun, customizable options. Helix users can concoct playlists featuring both XM and downloaded music files, and by using TuneSelect, are alerted anytime a favorite artist is playing on another XM channel.
