StarPlayer app promises to bring Sirius, XM to Apple iPhone

Wednesday, August 13, 2008 - 12:47 PM EST

"Sirius and XM have had their fair share of iPhone-related applications and buzz. First there was official word from XM of an XM Radio Mobile app for the iPhone. Then came uSirius and uXM to the mix. But there hasn't been much word on the mysterious StreamSmart project which promised a common platform for playing Sirius-XM on multiple devices, including the iPhone," Orbitcast repots.

"That is, until we got our hands on some details and screenshots from a covert operative inside the Alpha team," Orbitcast repots.

"The Sirius-XM application on the iPhone is still in the Alpha stage, which means it's still under heavy development and much of what you're about to see is likely to change," Orbitcast repots.

"The app is made by GeeksToolBox as part of the StreamSmart project. They've evidently partnered with NiceMac because the iPhone app is called StarPlayr, and there's a mention of the the StreamSmart association on StarPlayr's website," Orbitcast repots.

Covert operatives you say, no way... it's just the guys in marketing preping the marketing!

I've been waiting for this so I can listen to Howard Stern on my iPhone, when I want. Not just in the car.

It's been great having Howard Stern on Sirius. I'm not a subscriber so I never have to hear his puerile potty-mouth drivel ever again.

Aug 13, 08 - 12:14 pm Comment from: kfdodgerfan

Tipper. You never had to hear him on testicle radio either. It's called changing the channel or turning off the radio.

Aug 13, 08 - 12:19 pm Comment from: Tippercanoe

No, you can accidentally come across him when you're flipping stations. Was an uncommonly unbearable experience here on the East Coast back when he was all the rage on NY radio.

I have a couple of co-workers who might go out and buy an iPhone just because of this App. They're Howard Stern fans who have problems with Sirius reception in their offices.

Even if you don't like him, Stern being available via live streaming (with no other programs, etc necessary) could sell some iPhones.

@kfdodgerfan:

A big benefit to this is now you can plug your iPhone into your car stereo (non-satellite ready) and play Sirius/XM. Expect sales of satellite-ready car stereos to drop, and iPhone ready stereos to increase.

Aug 13, 08 - 12:54 pm Comment from: @Tipper Gore

That's 500 million dollars worth of puerile potty-mouth drivel to you, jerky. Not exactly unpopular, except to self-important simpletons like yourself.

It's called having a sense of humor. Find one.

Aug 13, 08 - 01:03 pm Comment from: Tommy Boy

My car has both Sirius and an iPod dock.

Awesome! Can't wait to get Opie & Anthony (they're funnier than Howie) on my iPhone. This will just make satellite radio even more attractive to consumers.

Aug 13, 08 - 02:56 pm Comment from: Growl

I can't wait to pay an extra monthly subscription fee to get 150 stations. Oh wait, I forgot, with Tuner, Pandora and AOL Radio I get about 200,000 stations for free.

Why do I need this again? Why does anyone?

Aug 13, 08 - 03:28 pm Comment from: kfdodgerfan

Tippercanoe. How long were you "forced" to stay on that station when you "accidently" breezed by it on the dial?

Aren't all your stations on pre-set anyway?

Aug 13, 08 - 04:08 pm Comment from: TheConfuzed1

Make it scrobble to Last.fm, and I might consider subscribing.
