I know... "Honey, they shrunk the phones!"

So then *why* aren't IBUZ receivers taking advantage of these *already fully 
implemented* technologies? Where's the "IBUZman" portable? Certainly a 
reasonably-priced device such as this would increase the appeal, somewhat. Of course, 
*content* is king. I can't imagine too many stations hiring full staffs for 
the HD2 channels when there are only 10-20 receivers in their market, so for 
now they're all automated jukeboxes. (People who own MP3 players already have 
such a jukebox in their pocket, and it never plays a song they dislike.) 

We're back to the chicken & egg, again- no compelling content because there 
are no recievers/listeners. There are no receivers/listeners, so there's no use 
in making compelling content.
