Though I wouldn't call it a "delay" since it hasn't been officially announced by Sirius, but according to Sirius' CFO David Frear at this week's Merril Lynch conference, the Sirius Stiletto is currently awaiting an FCC ID#.
Satellite Radio TechWorld late last week pointed out that Part 15, Subpart A, prohibits the marketing of devices that are not in the good graces of the FCC, so probably explains why retailers were asked to take down their pre-order pages.
Arrival time? According to sources.... soon. How frustrating

Technology is a broad concept that deals with a species' usage and knowledge of tools and crafts, and how it affects a species' ability to control and adapt to its environment. In human society, it is a consequence of science and engineering, although several technological advances predate the two concepts. Technology is a term with origins in the Greek "technologia", "τεχνολογία" — "techne", "τέχνη" ("craft") and "logia", "λογία" ("saying").[1] However, a strict definition is elusive; "technology" can refer to material objects of use to humanity, such as machines, hardware or utensils, but can also encompass broader themes, including systems, methods of organization, and techniques. The term can either be applied generally or to specific areas: examples include "construction technology", "medical technology", or "state-of-the-art technology
