Sirius was offering internet radio (without a sat radio) for at least three years before the merger. Dish Network customers in the U.S. can also recieve Sirius XM music channels. The article doesn’t mention if it’s music only, makes no mention of non music channels. Odds are pretty good the talk channels such as Howard 100 and Martha Stewart Living won’t be included. I highly doubt this is a ploy to attract new customers but rather give exsiting customers the chance to enjoy the familar brand of Sirius XM on the road.

Poor reporting really.

This was not remotely SiriusXMs idea. They completely stole the idea from StarPlayr. They didn’t start on an app until starplayr should have been approved. Well, that’s what most big companies do, screw the little guys with the better product over.

I think the biggest draw will be for existing Sirius XM customer who already pay the newly-imposed (and very irritating) $2.99 additional to get streaming. I have Sirius in my car and I love it. I begrudgingly pay the extra to stream it to my laptop. From what I understand, I’ll also be able to stream to the iPhone app with my existing plan. For me, that’s a win. I have my favorite channels on Sirius and I want to be able to take them with me on my iPhone.

As for using the iPhone as a tool for capturing new clients, I think they’ve totally missed the point here. They’re going to have to give away the streaming in order to get people interested enough to want to buy a subscription in their car. I think they really have their heads in a dark place if they don’t give away streaming on the iPhone as a gateway to sell new radio subscriptions.

Sirius XM is going to have to make a play for having superior content. With apps like Stitcher (free) already having phenomenal success on the App Store without charging a subscription, Sirius is going to have to provide an even higher level of service. Stitcher and Pandora also have a killer feature that satellite radio will most likely never have, personalization. These apps can figure out what you like and build playlists or stations to suit your tastes.

I would get excited about this because my personal car doesn’t have xm built in, and I’ve always wanted it (my work truck which I drive 20+ hours a week has it and I love it). Unfortunately, I’m assuming the programming will be streaming through your internet connection. With so many poor coverage areas in alberta and my inability to stream anything above 96kbps, I don’t think this app would work in my area – atleast not to the level I would expect it to.
