Easy choice, ipod hands down. There are so many more options and opportunities to use it. I have a 60 Gig ipod video and it goes everywhere I go. I have movies, TV shows and music on it, and I can listen/watch it anywhere I want, and when I want, that includes my truck. I'm not restricted to just my car or home like satelite radio. If you like listening to shows you can simply down load them, there are thousands of different podcasts out there, and there tons of new ones every day. All in all I find ipods so much more versatile and entertaining, then radio,.. satellite or not.
