Official: uSirius iPhone Application Submitted for Review
Nicemac LLC has officially submitted uSirius, their Sirius XM streaming iPhone application for review by Apple today. All there is to do now is sit back and wait for this gem of an application, that has been long overdue in the eyes of Sirius XM fans and shareholders alike, to be approved by the powers that be at Apple.
Various reports around the net show the iPhone App Store review process has been taking anywhere from 2 to 4 weeks to approve and officially list new applications. The guys over at Nicemac seem confident with their product and the rigorous testing that has been done but, only time will tell if it makes the cut.
The one time price tag of $12.99 has been confirmed by Nicemac co-founder Todd “Goodtime” Bruss, who notes that all minor upgrades will be free of charge but, any major future upgrades might cost a couple of bucks.
Stayed tuned for continuing coverage as we will do our best to cover the momentous occasion of the official release for all of you iPhone obsessed Sirius XM fans.
Hey Joe that’s Apple’s decision about not being able to run 3rd party apps in the background.
just jailbreak your phone. You’ll be able to run apps in the backgroung and more.
If a user emails us that StarPlayr won’t run and admits their iPhone is jailbroken, we will turn them away.
You can jailbreak your phone, but NiceMac LLC nor Apple, will support you.
What’s the big deal?
I’ve had Sirius and dropped it. There are too many great free (without subscription) offerings out there now. Pandora, Slacker, AOL Radio. All on your iPhone or Touch!
Check out Weather Underground’s Radio App called Wunderadio. It searches local radio stations using your GPS. It allows you to add by Artist, genre etc. It even allows you to listen to police scanners and weather radio if that’s your thing. Amazing content from anywhere in the world. Free.
I don’t know how much longer SiriusXM can survive. It’s stock is about a dime per share. In this economy, it just doesn’t make sense. I miss Howard too…but he’ll be back on terrestrial radio before the end of the year.
How do you figure he’ll be back on testicle radio. He has a 5 year CONTRACT you stupid ass! He’s also repeatedly said he would rather die than EVER do that type of radio! Get over it, he’s never coming back
Will the new Sirius player be able to stream off 3g connections, or is it only going to work off wi-fi?
Wes, you tool. When Sirius/XM goes out of business, there will be no satellite radio. Think he’s just going to sit home all day? Grow up.
