How to Buy the XM Radio Pioneer Inno
XM Radio introduced the Pioneer Inno to the market at the beginning of 2006. It plays live XM Satellite Radio content without needing your car or home receiver cradle. On top of that, the Inno can record up to 50 hours of programming. The first version could only handle five hours. The portable XM receiver also includes a MP3 playback. The Pioneer Inno runs between $200 and $400.
