SkyDock Update Will Allow Pause And Rewind Feature
The eagle eyes over at Digital Radio Central spotted an interesting Crutchfield ad which promises a new feature for the XM SkyDock. According to Crutchfield, and other sources who confirmed it, a pause and rewind feature will be added to the XM SkyDock any day now.
This is tremendous news for subscribers who use the SkyDock in conjunction with the iPod Touch or iPhone. Pause and rewind is the one feature I miss ever since I switched to the SkyDock from my Stiletto. There are many times that I want to rewind and catch something that I just heard, or get interrupted with a phone call in the middle of something compelling.
The Crutchfield ad states, “Starting in mid-May, you’ll be able to pause and replay up to 30 minutes of programming.”
While the ad does not state it, this is likely an update to the app, and will rely on storage space on your device to accomplish pausing and rewinding. For me, it is well worth it. SkyDock users will likely need to update their app through the apple App store online. SiriusBuzz will keep you posted as to when the new feature and app update will be available.

Android demolishing iPhone in sales

NPD says that in the first three months of 2010, Android captured 28% of the smartphone market, while Apple’s iPhone grabbed only 21%.
Google’s army of Android phones managed to pass the iPhone in market share in the U.S. for the first time last quarter. NPD analyst Ross Rubin attributed the strong sales to Verizon’s buy-one-get-one deals. Android phones have been discounted heavily as well.
NPDs numbers come from self-reported online consumer surveys (corporate sales arent included), which may not be indicative of raw numbers.
Android is now on all U.S. carriers and is the flagship smartphone on T-Mobile and Verizon. Verizon (VZ), who many view as the nation’s best network, just launched the HTC Incredible and had sold Motorola (MOT) Droids as fast as Apple initially sold iPhones. Meanwhile Sprint (S) will be announcing the HTC Evo 4G this summer, considered by many to be the premier Android phone.
