Audible Inc., which sells downloadable audio versions of books and newspapers, and satellite radio service provider XM Satellite Radio Holdings Inc. on Tuesday said that in 2006, they will co-launch a new handheld device that can play both the XM service and Audible's audio content.
The portable, handheld satellite radio devices will be able to receive both XM's roughly 150 digital radio channels, as well as audio programs from broadcasters, and audio book, newspaper and magazine publishers, which can be downloaded from the Internet.
The value of the agreement was not disclosed. XM and Audible said they will prominently co-market each other's services.
XM said it will feature Audible on the air, its Website and other channels, and also make the company's spoken-word programming available for downloading on the XM Website. Audible said it will offer popular XM talk programs on its own Website, starting with the Bob Edwards Show and Opie and Anthony.

Seems like they are only downloadable to this new radio that will be coming out. If thats the case then I dont see this as a big deal. Now if I'm able to dowload them to my iPod that would cool.
