did siri mention the iphone app still being released in Q2 or did they avoid that in the meeting. I know there was never a date, but they did say q2 once.

Did the extra billion shares get approval? How about the r/s extension?
Never mind, just found it!
They said it was submitted to Apple for approval and definitely by June 30th..Quote:

both were approved and they said R/S is a rescue ace in the hole and no plans to implement it currently..Quote:

This has happened so many times this past year or so that I take these postings as pure lies, just put here for the purpose of bashing Sirius and/or XM. It is uncanny how this patern keeps creeping up. So, look next time someone posts a new thread with a title which would indicate that things are really terrible with service, signal or device, and, chances are it is a person with a newish log in. Perhaps a lot of this is being done by one person who keeps changing their log in to appear genuine. Sure, problems can happen with any service, and Sirius XM is no exception, but the tendency of "newbies" posting complaints is uncanny.Quote:

Not a newbie...and....I've said this before: when I called XM service to CANCEL a few accounts because I wasn't using the radios (I was keeping two), I was placed on and off hold several times, adding up to around 30 minutes because the rep kept trying to keep me from canceling, even though I was keeping two subs. ANNOYING as hell. That's fact. Now, as a shareholder with almost 400k shares, I suppose there's a positive side in seeing tenacious service reps trying to hold on to business. But, there's no disputing that these tactics piss off customers. S-XM is not alone in using this tactic. Companies make it easy to sign up via the web, but almost impossible to cancel....like trying to leave the mafia. ANNOYING!Quote:

The shares were approved I believe, and i think that the R/S was as well. However Mel mentioned that there is NO R/S due up at anytime. They feel confident that they will bring SIRI up to a $1 by end of year.Quote:

They are in a different spot then they were 3-4 years back when competition was simply Terest radio and a few other types of services. Of course they spent most of their time worrying about one another (of course I mean Sirius and XM)
Now that they are ONE, and other services are becoming popular through handhelds or web streaming, they will need to start marketing more and pushing the services.
I'm confident that they will announce some good things soon. Let's look at very basic numbers from someone who has very little knowledge of how this whole thing works.
Lets say there are 20 Million iphones sold. (Give or take). Say 15 Million of them are users who do not have SIRIXM. If even 5% of those users sign up for SIRI when the app comes out then we have another 750,000 new subs. Now let's shave 30% off of that to be more realistic. We are now at say 525,000 new subs.
Not bad for something that costs next to nothing to create. Plus the app store is a free method to get the app out there.
BIG THINGS POPPING
