Seems like Tyler you did a little of both today. Instead of typing app out , here what it does, heres what it doesnt do, you THOUGHT and used opinion to highlight what you thought your readers cared about. So nice of you!!!
So this is more for investors? Im confused...
Because most people on here want Howard, they get Howard. Most are music fans, and this has nothing to do with music. Your article (trust me Ive read enough articles in my life) seems to be a simple JUMPING ON THE BANDWAGON negative piece, with intent to create emotions.

As a neutral observer who doesnt know much about this subject i have to agree with Reimor that it would have been much more useful to get some real info about the App and its functioning. Then you guys could have delved into the Stern issue when some more facts were available.

this could be a big announcement coming that apple is buying out sirius?

sorry....I'm not getting this at all. Howard is live on iPhone you are saying? Via whose application? Or, is it recording of Howard program as iTunes download? What exactly are you saying?

relmor please don't feed the lions..
you know this is good news that we haven't heard yet, howard is still under sxm contract, this is something big

howards advertising revenue may have just quadrupled

One thing I noticed in the Sirius XM company announcement that I have not seen anyone comment on:

Sirius XM could have touted their iPhone offerings without mentioning what they were leaving out. The press would have noticed, but perhaps not made such a big deal about it. Instead Sirius XM intentionally mentioned what people would be missing on today's new iPhone application. They listed these things, so perhaps they were intentionally drawing people's attention to these things so they could later create a premium package of the things "you have been missing." Thus, they are perhaps creating demand in the eyes and ears of those who will now try the free 7 day trial application.

The idea that has been given out that Sirius XM has told people that because of "mobile performance rights" Howard Stern is not yet available but might be soon is a little hard to believe since Sirius XM has had months to obtain those "mobile performance rights"

Perhaps to actually create a sense that some wonderful programming was not being offered for free and to intentionally make people think they were missing something, Sirius XM's press release said:

"Some select programming, including MLB Play-by-Play, NFL Play-by-Play, SIRIUS NASCAR Radio, and Howard Stern, will not be available on the iPhone and iPod touch. Listeners will continue to be able to access that programming through the platforms they are currently offered on."

Anyone have any thoughts on this?

he is not live, is available as a download, im sure its getting released after the live show ends. its downloadeable in 30 minutes sets.

Note how it says 'will not be available' as opposed to 'currently not available' or 'not available immediately' with some explanation. SUCKS how they are handling this.
