The Mini-Tuner is also expected be compatible with future portable products. 

The first Mini-Tuner device on the market was the portable/wearable Samsung Nexus that has since been discontinued.

The CommanderMT has alerts for a favorite song, artist or sports team. It is available at a suggested retail of $179, including the Mini-Tuner cartridge.
