XM's newest radio, the XpressRC, debuted today. Generally the introduction of new satellite radio receivers hardly merit even a blog post, but the XpressRC boats a few cool features worth mentioning.

First off is a buffer that lets the user save 60 minutes of programming, for song repeats and instant replay for sports. Another feature lets you save your ten favorite songs, while the quick channel navigation lets you set up to ten of your favorite channels.

The XpressRC's real killer features, however, is its display. The full-color screen is customizable, letting the user dictate what they see, including the channel, artist, and song name, while a split screen feature displays the current song on one side, while letting the user browse the content of up to three channels on the other. You can also check out up to five of your favorite tracks on that side, as well.

Okay, maybe it's not quite as earth-shattering as XM would like you to think, but it's still pretty neat--one of those things we'd like to see become a standard feature on radios. Perhaps after the merger--Sirius on one side and XM on the other? Positively mind-blowing.

The XpressRC is rolling out this fall with a $170 price tag.
