Then I got an iPod and connected it to the Aux-In. No need to keep up with the MP3 CD's. Life was great.

Then I got satellite radio, and started leaving the iPod and CDs at home.

I guess my point is that for $150, you can buy a name brand radio with more features from a reputable dealer. Or you could buy a similar radio from a local discounter for about $60. I would not buy the unit you linked to for the reason listed in this paragrap, plus the fact they play buzzword-bingo. "Optimized for iPod" - what does that mean anyway?
All valid points. Thanks for the moment of clarity!
