What does the iPhone really mean for Sirius XM?
I noticed that the fool.com and orbitcast have both written similar articles about what I have been spouting about the Sirius iPhone for months now and I hope people really look into this more.
I just read a couple of comments on some of these articles and some people lack the basic understanding of what is even possible. Normally I dont get involved about the investing side of things but if people think these possibilities are greater then they are, they are investing without being properly informed.
Today I read a comment where a guy said something along the lines of the fact that there is more ipods then iphones so, once they get into the hundreds of millions of ipods, things will really take off for sirius. I just hope people know that regular old ipods are simply storage that plays music and are not wifi or 3g ready. Of course ipod touches do have that capability but there are not hundreds of millions of ipod touches out there right now.
I just want to set the record straight and let people know (who might not be up to date with all of the technical jargon) about this stuff but, I dont know where to start. If you guys have technical questions I will be happy to answer them.

SiriusXM would have to a least charge a nominal fee for the new application if they want to take advantage of a new 3.0 software subscription feature. The new software allows developers to offer, within an application, the ability to purchase a subscription right inside the app. (Of course Apple receives 30% of the subscription fee and application fee)
If you click on the above link for the Apple iphone software preview at the SDK conference, 13:30 minutes into the presentation you see the explanation.
