  • adlep, on 07/07/2008, -5/+9Interesting
    • scuba7183, on 07/08/2008, -0/+2Quite.
    • dfsjdkflasjk, on 07/08/2008, -6/+2uSirius is better, simply because Sirius is better than XM.
      • ZachSka87, on 07/08/2008, -1/+2I dunno, I kinda like them both the same.

        (I see what I did there)
  • 11Christine, on 07/07/2008, -12/+3Could you explain how this works? I thought iPhone doesn't have a satellite receiver.
    • mikek814, on 07/07/2008, -2/+9It's streamed through the internet. Both XM and Sirius have an internet stream.
    • bbland, on 07/08/2008, -1/+2how cute.
  • techleak_j, on 07/07/2008, -1/+12These guys also created uSirius (Sirius satellite radio on your iPhone or iPod Touch). Direct link to their site with both uXM and uSirius: http://www.millardsoftware.com/
  • rinocom, on 07/07/2008, -0/+27FTA - "...this will definitely get you through until July 11th when XM releases their official iPhone app in the App Store."

    can't wait 4 days??
    • lazeedigger, on 07/07/2008, -0/+1No, I can't wait even 4 days to get my hands on this! =)
    • ThatDustyGuy, on 07/08/2008, -2/+1That will be $12.95 a month please.
      • elister, on 07/08/2008, -4/+8Extra 2.95$ if you want 128K stereo.

        I gotta say, Apple almost over-innovates when it comes to burning a hole in your wallet.
      • apophenic, on 07/08/2008, -0/+6Almost?
    • pbj1229, on 07/28/2008, -0/+0so where is the offical app cause i sure cant find it?
  • kuz2r, on 07/07/2008, -24/+3This is sweet but Sirius is what it's all about...
    After all that's where Howard Stern is at!
    Bababooey!
    I guess it won't be an issue when they merge
    • sycsix, on 07/08/2008, -9/+2Bababooey!, Bababooey!, Bababooey!
      There was no satellite radio in 1986
      Bababooey!, Bababooey!, Bababooey!
      There were no cel phones in 1986
      Bababooey!, Bababooey!, Bababooey!
      Teh internets didn't work in 1986

      Flush your XM down the toilet, buy a Sirius and go ***** your mother.
  • JillEva, on 07/07/2008, -7/+0This specific post was just referenced by Gizmodo

  • Bananaballs, on 07/08/2008, -3/+0cool
  • evanfrey, on 07/08/2008, -4/+2They have one for Sirius that I've been using called uSirius
  • SirChaos, on 07/08/2008, -3/+2And thanks to the Digg effect.....

    XM sues to get it removed? (Hope not)
    • russ3, on 07/08/2008, -0/+3Why? This actually made me think about subscribing to some satellite radio.
    • DaHuuuuuudge, on 07/08/2008, -0/+3It still requires an XM subscription. Why would this anger XM, and how is it illegal?
  • xero9, on 07/08/2008, -1/+6Is this really going to be an official program on the App Store?

    If so, I can't wait for Sling Player and this!
  • sixsixsixtimer, on 07/08/2008, -6/+0I can't access the article. Hopefully this isn't promoting satellite piracy.
  • jscotttaylor, on 07/08/2008, -0/+15Ron & Fez... noon to 3
  • BikerDude69, on 07/08/2008, -1/+6For everyone with a Windows or other Mobile phone, you can use XStream XM - http://www.xstreamxm.com/mobile It works great for me. When my XM receiver broke I started using my cell phone in my car instead and can't tell the differnce in quality.
  • Billistic, on 07/08/2008, -10/+3People listen to satellite radio?
    • Okari, on 07/08/2008, -6/+3Probably only for Howard Stern.
    • DteK, on 07/08/2008, -1/+2I listen to it primarily over terrestrial not only for Howard but for the other talk and music stations. I travel about between Ma and Ct frequently and I find it better than switching between radio stations, not to mention the sound quality is better. I cant believe people who spend lots of time driving or just listening to a radio at work still tolerate terrestrial. Other than it is free, there is no plus side.
      • apophenic, on 07/08/2008, -0/+1I like college radio better than most XM stations.
    • Cerialthriller, on 07/08/2008, -0/+1No commercials on the music channels, no cencorship, high quality audio, no flipping stations when you drive outta signal ranges, channels with rock music. why would you ever torture yourself with commercial radio?
  • buddyw, on 07/08/2008, -3/+5Blackberry and Windows Mobile has had this for a while, The problem is that the stream is a really low bit rate.
  • koenigje, on 07/08/2008, -11/+2So Sirius.......boo XM
  • elister, on 07/08/2008, -6/+3Hello and welcome to 3 years ago.

    http://msmobiles.com/news.php/4477.html

    Google SiriuCE, there's obviously an updated version available for Windows Mobile 5 & 6. The only problem is, 12.95$ a month, regardless if you have a hardware radio or not. Extra 2.95$ if you want 128K encoded streams.
  • sycsix, on 07/08/2008, -0/+2Listen on your mobile free if you have a sub.

    works on my treo
  • Weekapaugr00ve, on 07/08/2008, -3/+2"There's a reason you can say anything you want on satellite radio, because nobody's listening! I can swear in the woods too!"
    • Cerialthriller, on 07/08/2008, -0/+2or because the FCC has no jurisdiction there
  • Derfy, on 07/08/2008, -0/+2The only thing disappointing about this was that it didn't come out a year earlier. :-( I'm just disappointed to know that, come Friday, I'll be out XM once again.
  • brownr21, on 07/08/2008, -1/+2Internet radio owns.
    • DeFex, on 07/08/2008, -1/+1but its free. why have free when you can pay?
  • elitemrp, on 07/08/2008, -1/+11Ron & Fez on the screenshot... it's like this app was made for me!

    O&A six to noon!
    R&F noon to three!
  • koolto, on 07/08/2008, -0/+2Now all I need is a XM subscription.
  • adougy, on 07/08/2008, -0/+6Holy *****, I'm sorry if no one else feels this way, but this is just amazing.

    I hook my iPhone up to my car, and now it's a gateway to satellite radio. Slowly, the iPhone is becoming a behemoth of "handheld entertainment."
  • Falldog, on 07/08/2008, -2/+2Fuuuuuck now I need an iPhone :(
  • adidos, on 07/08/2008, -0/+2Sucks for the developers...they spent all this time developing it and in 4 days XM is releasing an official app...all that effort down the drain :(
    • EtherGnat, on 07/08/2008, -1/+2Not necessarily. The official app will likely cost money and there's no guarantee it will be better.
  • digjam, on 07/08/2008, -0/+1One small doubt...is this audio stream over internet....or somehow a satellite is involved too?
    • threemagic, on 07/08/2008, -0/+1It's an audio stream over the internet.
    • digjam, on 07/08/2008, -0/+1Then whats the big deal about it... there are millions out there...isnt it?
  • cnicodemus, on 07/08/2008, -0/+5WOW! Whip 'em Out Wednesdays! That means titties!
  • username7410, on 07/08/2008, -4/+0This must burn the battery up pretty quick.
  • 420greg, on 07/08/2008, -0/+1I have been doing this with uXM for the PC and orb since about a week after the iphone came out.
  • joeweather9, on 07/13/2008, -0/+1you people are full of *****! there is no app. TROLLS
