Giveaway: Sirius XM iPhone App Private Invites
UPDATE: The giveaway has ended, thank you all for your interest.
The guys at Nicemac are still hard at work trying to get the latest version of the uSirius StarPlayr out to the public and they have been nice enough to give SiriusBuzz 7 private invites to give away. If you have an iPhone and are interested in being one of the select few, all you have to do is either follow us on Twitter and retweet this post (preferred consideration) or simply comment on this article with your interest.
The deadlines are tight so get your request in now and we will select 7 winners at random in the next 24 hours. This goes without saying but you must have an iPhone and a valid Sirius or XM subscription to participate.
In addition to the beta 1 features the guys have added a few new features including:
- shake to shuffle options
- sound effects (toggle preset beeps, etc)
- rearrange presets
- time played
- auto play
- auto mute (when headphones pop out)
- iTunes purchase links for Edge/WiFI
- real stream artist and title
- secure login/authentication
- complete guide data
Sweet high quality photos of the uSirius app. after the jump…

Apple is standing back on it, and the reason is simple – they don’t want you playing music other than iTunes on it. uSirius is a direct competitor to the biggest money maker Apple’s ever had. They’re not likely to help out.
The only other thing it could be is that Sirius blocked it. Personally, if I were Mel Karmazin, I’d offer to buy the app from Nicemac for some decent sum, and then sell it for $2 on the app store as a Sirius product.
This would be awesome. I love Sirius radio! I listed to all the Christian music stations, especially while I travel because you can’t keep your old analog stations when you travel and I hate searching for my stations. Sirius eliminates this very annoying problem.
what’s the holdup? I don’t see any downside since you have to have a subscription.
What’s the status, this is taking WAY too long.
yes I am VERY interested in this
