Is the pocket tunes the Sirius app I've been waiting for ? If so I'm severely disappointed! It was difficult to find and there's no way consumers will b aware of it or know it has Sirius
No, not at all.
Sirius will come out with their own app that is much more user friendly to satrad. The Pocket Tunes is not so userfriendly, but it does play SiriusXM from the Web tab.
We SIRI investors are just excited bc its a little step in a big direction. When the Sirius app comes out it will have a much bigger effect on SIRI than Pocket Tunes.
Correction: it plays the web based audio stream that Sirius supplies of the satrad programming.

My wife just downloaded the app onto her her IPhone and she said it was REALLY AMAZING. She can not figure out how to minimize it to the back ground for using phone or texting etc. but other than that it is the just like having sirius on your sat device.
Holy cow, I just looked and realized I'm no longer a Junior Member here.
YEA!!!
Just kidding. Perhaps I'd be more excited about promotions if I had had a job in the past 4 years...
Most likely, playing Pocket Tunes in the background (like the iPod function of the iPhone) is not possible.
iPhone software doesnt allow most apps to do it. With a little research you can figure out how to do it if you jailbreak. Otherwise, I hear rumors that the new iPhone software version upgrade 3.0 will have that ability for more apps.
I know its not possible to play Pandora in the background either.
It's like I'm psychic or something...(GM's loss is Fords gain)
Ford sold 46,467 North American-made cars and 78,298 light trucks in March, about 10,000 more than expected. Was it the TALF? No mention of its impact was made. It is worth noting, however, that Ford sold $3 billion of TALF-eligible asset-backed securities on March 19 (settlement date March 25), an amount that could support the sale of 100,000 vehicles priced at $30,000. Nissan also issued TALF-eligible asset-backed securities in March, about $1.4 billion. The TALF will directly benefit the economy by funneling money to borrowers. With it, a variety of manufacturing-related data will turn. Industry-wide sales are expected to have run at a pace of 9.2 million overall in March and 6.5 million for domestically produced vehicles, up from 9.1 million and 6.5 million, respectively. The pace for both was the worst since December 1981. Know What You Own: In midday trading on Friday, the most active stocks...
