SIRI INTRA DAY thread THUR MAY 7th 2009

Im sure they are waiting to release in end of June on the day they release new iphone. Apple likes to announce their cool stuff all at once with fanfare.

I do not think that this should be the reason.

great show today tyler, specially liked the part that guy from texas called in, he should really get his own show on sirius, maybe he shouldnt get stern money, but mad dog money fo sure.

I dont know why people think Apple has anything to do with this application. Apple simply makes 3rd party apps available via their store and take their cut of the rev... that's it. You guys can save all your apple/sirius conspiracy theories, they simply are not true.

If Apple can sell 500 million apps in 6 months, how much do you think they care about 1-2million more? At this point they have probably already sold a billion and another 500 million before the Sirius XM app is even released. They aren't playing favorites they are working on volume.

The 1 billionth app was downloaded about 10 days ago. Ran a big promotion, gave away prizes, drove traffic to download more and more apps via the App Store on Apple's website.

You know, promotions. Something that works for media companies (in general) yet is sorely lacking at my beloved Sirius/XM.

Along with any semblance of talent in the PR department.

IMHO.

Great point, Greg.
Marketing is where the emphasis should be. What good is the product
if people are unaware of how awesome it is. Frustrating that we don't
see ads for this everywhere.

Anyone brave enough to give predictions for tomorrow??

[trippingthespeculatingpos]

we get a smallpop after liberty call and we finish high .40's touching the .50's for a second.

Well I hope you're right Tripp, thanks for replying! That siriusxminvestor guy sure has a bleak outlook!
