Satellite radio provider, Sirius, is planning to add video as part of it’s offering in 2006. According to AP, the content will be targeted at children as a result of the increase in video equipment in automobiles to entertain kids. Sirius has struck a deal with Microsoft to use their technology for mobile products.

Chief Executive Officer Mel Karmazin said:

“We will take the DVD experience to the next level, offering the best content easily available to families and consumers.”

Having two young daughters, the portable dvd player has been a godsend for long trips, and while the devil is in the details, this kind of service makes sense to me.
