Despite the media’s attempt to quell enthusiasm regarding Sirius XM’s (SIRI) new application for Apple’s (AAPL) iPhone and iTouch devices, and despite a short-selling attack that occurred on the news, Sirius XM has never looked better, as witnessed by the initial number of downloads of the new app.
According to iTunes, the free Sirius XM App for the iPhone and iPod touch Thursday became the No. 1 most downloaded free music App, leapfrogging other apps such as Pandora and Slacker in just this, its first official day. It was also the 6th most downloaded of any free App on iTunes.
For those that are fortunate enough to have been born with a brain that allows them to think for themselves, and took the time to read the company’s press release rather than the onslaught of negative press regarding Howard Stern, a unique opportunity has evolved. That opportunity lies in the fact that Sirius XM has now extended itself globally.
Wednesday, Sirius XM was only heard in the continental United States. Despite being available online, the company required a U.S. address in order to subscribe. I just called the phone number for international subscription access, and was told that Sirius XM Radio is in fact now able to be received anywhere in world, with no residency restrictions. The call center went on to say that they have been busy all day setting up new users.
For those that may complain about the current absence of Howard Stern, rest assured he will be added in my opinion as the demonstration presented at the annual Sirius XM investor conference last month showed an iPhone that was tuned into the Howard 100 channel. Regardless of what may or may not occur, the one fact remains that as of today, whether you live in England, Europe, Asia, India, Alaska and Hawaii, South America or in the Middle East, wherever an Internet hookup exists, you can now stream Sirius XM Radio to your laptop, desktop or iPhone. All you need is an Internet connection of any type, including wi-fi.
For information about setting up an account outside of the United States, the company asks consumers to call the following number at (toll): 469-221-5200. Howard Stern may be popular, but the 120 channels that are being offered at this moment to the entire world make this application a stronger asset to the company.
Another hidden gem in all of this, lies in what appears to be a true partnership with Apple; the details of which have yet to be released. Let the lemmings focus on what is not in the press release. The smart money will no doubt focus on what is.

Going from a potential sub base of 300M into the billions...

I have Money in this stock as well / I think too many people are blaming that there was no Howard on the apps. which they should be looking at it as a big piture and the drop of the 12% of the stock yesterday was because of the out of control of the short sellers because it made 12% on Tuesday which lost it all on Thursday back down to .35 (there was no investors that day) it was the same people that put in that took it out just as quick
buy the rumor (apps is coming out Thursday) sell the news ( no Howard)
If they did that then all a Siri Subscriber would have to do is cancel their car sub, activate the internet sub (cost less), then download the Iphone App. They all they have to do is plug the iphone into the MP3 input on the car radio, and hear it from there.
This would turn into lost revenue for siri
Sirius going global is fantastic news ! Hope it takes off like the rockets in Korea LOL

Do you really want to know?
Mel is screwing SIRI Stock Holders for his continued but ever changing evil plans. Mel has no respect for The “Unwashed Common Stock Holder”.
December 08 before the stock holder meeting, I informed everyone on Seeking Alpha that “Two Private Investors have made offer to Mel and no REV-Split is required” The offers at the time were much better than what happened in the SIRI takeover War.
Now, Mel wants his Rev Split and he will soon get it. Originally Mel desired to take SIRI private and this may still be in the works. However, now we have a 40 percent partner. One way to reduce that 40 percent partner is to Rev-Split 1 for 50 and then issue more stock during the next “Mel created emergency”. The key idea here is that Mel has a plan and his plans always screw stock holders.
More history- Mel invented a lawsuit and paid a third party to sue SIRI. Yes, you read that correctly. It is well known that Mel attempted to get total protection from class actions of stock holders for his antics during the merger. Fortunately, Michal Hartlib discovered the corruption and prevented Mel from obtaining the protection. The Judge in that case was outraged.
SIRI Stock Holders can not get a fair vote. Between our 40 percent partner and the reserve stock held by the company, public stock holders are out-numbered. Mel is a wild man and he is running fully unchecked.
Wall Street and Main Media have been burned and given up on SIRI. They know but can not write about what Mel did to stock holders of three companies that he devastated, took private, and merged to build Viacom. Three years beating back lawsuits and Mel became a media mogul on the backs of poor beaten investors. This is all well known information that Mel is proud to speak about during parties for the rich and famous.
Mel will continue to make his little innocent looking mistakes. He will have you believing the world is beating him up. But what is truly going on is Mel and Goldman Sacks are making millions trading SIRI on the back end. This billion dollar monster is Mel’s “Cash Cow” and the “Unclean Stock Holder” is getting milked.
Most or the main stream investors (other than insiders) are avoiding SIRI like a disease. Most will NOT touch SIRI until the Rev-Split is over or off the table. So, SIRI will not go over 1.00 and will need the Rev Split to keep its NasD listing. Mel wants this split. Do not expect Mel to do anything correctly until after he gets his Rev-Split.
I have posted this information so that new comers understand the deep crap they are looking at in SIRI. I will not be responding. I got tired of defending the truth of SIRI long past. Some Bloggers and Seeking Alpha get a pay check for beating up people for posting the truth about SIRI here…
I am NOT Michal Hartlib, NOT part of that group, NOT part of the movie. But, I did quit a long time ago…
The other MLB, NASCAR and NFL are money oriented issues. But Howard they thought about. Users will get him if they subscribe and pay extra. Details are already being worked out.
But it could not be included on the release given the global scope.
There was a caller on Howard Stern's Show on wednesday that claimed that he pays for black market duplication of the show for $3.99 a month in South Korea. The caller is a u.s. citizen that is an english teacher. I believe that since howard stern has this perceptive value in other countries sirius/xm is looking for other means of distributing his content. That would be more lucrative, not only to the subscriber, but as well to the contract obligations for howard stern him self.
It's only a matter of time before Howard Stern gets his own app on the Iphone for .99cents a month.

You fail to realize that Mel Karmazine has 4 million in stock shares that he purchased at almost $3.00 a share. Mel isn't out screwing people. Your just uneducated. You would rather blame a CEPO for your problems than the thieves that illegally short this stock on the daily. Seriously man your ranting and raving is stupid.

BLAH. BLAH. BLAH.....................
December 08 before the stock holder meeting, I informed everyone on Seeking Alpha that “Two Private Investors have made offer to Mel. The offers would have eliminated the need for a Rev-Split. If Mel had taken one of the two offers we would all be looking good and no Rev-Split would be looming. Mel refused the offers before the December 08 Stock holder Meeting. Mel NEVER INFORMED STOCK HOLDERS OF THE OFFERS. The offers at the time were much better than what happened in the SIRI takeover war.
Dont know if I believe this, but I want too!!!
Or Howard is simply waiting for allsmart phones to come out, and be released on those as well, at once.
Or its a hang up in Howards contract talks, as cell phone rights are being discussed on his new deal. Actual his absence is good news for him coming back. If he wasnt , and they knew he wasnt, they would release it with him, and take advantage of the sub additions while they can.
You say that the free application was the most downloaded. How about a little more analysis? What is the conversion rate from a free application that is downloaded to when the customer pays for the application? I download stuff all the time on my i-phone, doesn’t mean I’d pay for the applications. Since you're so smart and we're not, I would think this is something you know. Isn't that what a true analysis would be? Anyone can just regurgitate facts. How about actually doing some beneficial analysis? What is the expected penetration into foreign markets and what is the company doing to attract and cater to these different markets. Since we're all lemmings, I guess we need your brilliant and also accurate insights.
Some (including myself) are frustrated with the company and are focusing on the negatives but you’re doing the same thing with the positives? All of you articles are biased and slanted. Stop disclosing you’re long at the end of these reports. First of all, that’s as obvious as the sun rising. Second, it seems like you’re trying to make disclosures in line with NASD Rule 2711 (Research). You’re articles are so far from being considered research it’s absurd. Aside from numerous other reasons these articles could never be considered research, they’re not fair and balanced – the corner stone of valid research.
SIRI is only available in USA and Canada!
I called the number provided by Brandon Matthews and it answered with music. I held the phone for 25 min. Wonder what that cost me in long distance?
I then called SIRI America, 888-539-7474. After a menu and holding the line for 90 minutes, I was told most certainly that SIRI is only sold in the US and Canida.
FROM THE SIRI WEB SITE
What countries is the service available in?
The SIRIUS XM Premium Online Application for iPhone & iPod Touch is only available in the United States.
The nice Indian operator who finally answered my call said they are signing up many new users today.
I have personally verified that SIRI is NOT, repeat NOT selling any radio service outside of the US and Canada. She said, “SIRI is negotiating but is a long way from selling radio in other countries.”
I would have loved and rejoiced at international SIRI. But it is simply not true yet. This article needs to be re-verified and corrected or retracted.

Whether you agree with my opinion or not isn't important, as everyone is entitled to their opinion. That's what makes markets. Unfortunately, you're opinion has no factual basis and when you do say something so obviously wrong and uninformed, this is blatantly apparent.

Oh and if you ONLY bought it at .05, and not before, then you are a huge winner and I congratulate you. Very few people on these boards have that kind of timing. This stock is for experienced traders only! True believers should buy the service, not the stock.
What analysis have you done? How are you projecting forward looking earnings? Have you considered the changing global markets and how the company plans to penetrate international markets? How the company plans to address expiring contracts? Etc, etc, etc. I know your answer………you don’t have one.

IT'S ON NOW!!!!!!!!!!!
BASHERS CAN SUCK IT!!!!!
Argue, be mad and just totally ignore the facts.
Brandon posted a “less-than-correct” article here saying SIRI is global. SIRI is NOT selling global. We can hope, wish, and even pray but it just is not true. If you have a Ipod and a US or Canada address for billing you might be able to access the feed. However, SIRI is not billing to any address outside of USA and Canada “Yet”.
Malone publicly said he made offer to Mel before the Dec 08 stock meeting (Google it). Mel never informed stock holders of any of the two offers. Mel failed his duty to stock holders. Mel failed to get financing and caused all this massive stock saturation because he would not make a deal when it was offered. Oh, but he is our hero.
SIRI is now massively saturated. The Rev-Split Mel wanted back in December is now desirable but for a much different reason. Good or bad Mel wants the split and he will not stop “screwing up” until he gets it.
The Street big dogs (except insiders) will NOT trade SIRI until the split is over or off the table.
NasD suspended the 1.00 delisting rule. But will they keep the suspension and get us past December? Will Mel get new authorization for the rev-split? If Mel calls a stock holder vote on anything, just toss your ballet in the trash because you’re outnumbered via Malone and company stock.
Has anyone thought what is going to happen when Mel announces a 1 for 50 split? Well, I will predict a bottom of .05 or lower on the news. Yes, I have dumped most of my 300,000 shares at huge loses. But I will trade back and work the corrupted tide. I can do that because I understand how Mel is playing his SIRI cash cow.
But, a month after the rev-split we will be lucky if SIRI stays over 1.00 as it will be shorted to death. We can hope for the best but we have seen it with other stocks that rev-split.
OK, you don’t believe in shorts causing problems? Than deal with the other problems of negative press and the foul taste SIRI has given the street in the past two years. SIRI needs something big and good to bump this stock up to its true value. SIRI needs Mel to stop screwing up everything new. Have you noticed everything new is tainted somehow? Mel always keeps a downside to drag down the stock. To me, this is obvious but you may call this paragraph a conjecture.
Wow, and the big Mel defense I always love hearing from amateurs, “Mel owns millions of stock”. Most of that stock is controlled while he is CEO via insider laws. But, the larger issue is the “Back End profits”. With back end deals Mel has made private millions just like all CEO’s of big companies do. Get someone to explain it to you.
None of our rants makes any difference. We are stuck with Mel because he owns/controls the stock holder vote. I hoped Malone would bring some stability to SIRI but I have yet to see any.
Well, I am rambling. I don’t much care what you people believe. I just stopped in to waist a few hours of boredom. Believe what you want and I pray all of you have good luck. Make love. Make money. Be happy…
NOT SHORTING - Less long and more happy.
1) iPhone subscriptions. With Hardware free, this is the biggest bang for the company.
2) Increased saturation rate into Domestic automotive manufacturers, and the signing of more Foreign
The changing global markets and how the company plans to penetrate international markets?
1) iPhone subscriptions, the minor stumbling block is the RIAA. The RIAA have a greater chance of receiving income from an American based company than a Chinese government supported communist based one overseas. The Chinese love the western influence!
The company plans to address expiring contracts the same way Football, Baseball, Television or any other entertainment company does, by negotiation.
There are far more companies that didn't survive, Worldspace, and XM (AS a standalone) to name two. Sirius won’t be the company to go out of business, because the customers support the business. The customers are supporting the business during the most difficult economic time since the great depression. The iPhone is not the stopping point for Sirius, but with the number of customers it has to offer, a percentage of new subscribers would push the company to be Cash Flow Positive.

"FAQ's What countries is the service available in?
The SIRIUS XM Premium Online Application for iPhone & iPod Touch is only available in the United States."
Today the quote is "Now you can listen to Sirius XM GLOBALLY through your iPhone and iTouch."
Hey? How does someone become a radio basher anyway? Hahahaha!!!
I wouldn't be surprised if that changes just as fast too!

The DJ's are physically announcing it between songs word for word the way I relayed it. I'm sorry if for some odd reason people have a problem with the news but it is what it is and I am happy about it. Could be why Siri stock is up 17% AH.
Sirius XM: Gimme Credit Upgrades Rating To Stable

Let us hope for more good news like this upgrade. I am hungry for good news on SIRI.
If SIRI was Global I am big enuph to say I was wrong. But, I don't see any proof of global. The company order taker is still saying only USA for Ipod.
The FAQ page still says USA only.

I often find that I am an indicator of the populatity of things for Standard White Guys over 50. They seem to take off when I finally get them. If so, this is the beginning of a huge revenue surge for SIRI.

Did it crash or did they pull the plug EOD to switch servers and put up the new site?
Either way, just got back from having lunch at a Mexican restaurant. They were pumping Caliente on Sirius XM....... just can't get away from it. Know what I mean? Of course you do ;)
great article btw...johnny on the spot.. a steel-toed black boot right up the shorts' arse....
you could be right..when I got back EOD i was just getting weird garble. Didn't know they were pulling the plug. thanks for the info. First, cali mexican: ain't no better. and yes,,the dog follows everywhere!
about 6M shares hit the post well into AH. Started out ho hum but finished great. Whatever the drill was all about today..who the hell knows...all this news swirling has to create impact soon. Did you see the close? Shennanigans x 10. They froze the bid/ask for about the last :20. I was stunned. No trades at all. Wonder what happened there. I almost thought they halted trading for news pending..but then it kicked back in after the close. Bid sat at .3408 for a while. I took off, got back and I saw the ticker on CNBC say .39. I ran to my board. Took some off @ .38. After yesterday, I'm banking when it's bankable. Tomorrow's always another day...

nice post. Some or most of which I was posting elsewhere yesterday. Great to have that app out but it's release was botched by management. But it's over and we move on. I don't post here much anymore and am only here looking for some of my peeps but caught your post. Posters here should read your post and try to understand it. It's not bashing the company as much as it is stark reality about the STOCK SIDE...two different worlds and animals in many public companies. but also listen to wolf..he's an intelligent dude. Sorry you sold at a loss..but many of us did and have been recouping slowly on what's left. Still some good opps to ride this version of the dog before the rev. In some way, I think Mel (in between all his ineptitude) is telling us in code...be smart and you can make some cash. What's been done to many of us is criminal..as I know you know. Stick with it and as you know, follow the money. There's some good opps here. Later...

Analyst are starting to see the green light for this company.
I'm bought up a lot at .33 and glad I did. I kind of knew this was going to happen this week but I didn't want to let the cat out of the bag.
I really think siri is making a turnaround of some sorte with all the cards in place. I wouldn't be surprised to see the share price break $2 by the end of this year.
Remember, they have a lot of debt coming due the next few years but if they can increase revenue while same time reducing expenses this debt will be handled effectively.
This is coming from someone that knows this stock and has always had a determined success outlook for future growth.

All the shorts are crying, because they are dumb ,and are trying to book 2 cent profits, when $2 of upside is offered. Just rip your head out of your butt, and smell the fresh air. All it takes to bullish on this company. Simply remove your head from your butt ,and it makes everything clearer. Siri-doom, you make crappy points. Your points are irrelevant to your demands and wants. What do you own? 50K? Well, that makes the speed and process of evolving this company not your say. If you want to hang on for the ride, your more than welcome. No Howard? No problem. #1 downloaded app. Stick it.

I too have seen the "SiriXM app is Flawed." bashing article three times. That bunch is tied to Cramer and after he got death threats over SIRI loses; I don't much blame him for bashing SIRI. However, I hate media lies, slants, and government control.
The Cramer problem goes back to the MERGER FINANCING. What a bomb that was for SIRI. Do you think Mel could possibly go into a billion dollar merger deal without financing in his back pocket? No?
Mel knew what he was doing and screwed “Unwashed share holders” the day of the merger with dirty finnancing. Do you think he did not know GS would use those share to short the stock in billions? Mel knew what he was doing. That is the "Back End" profit I have been saying he makes. If he did not make millions (he did) on that one deal you can be guaranteed he made some very rich friends on inside shorting of SIRI.
The CEO and management have no respect for Common. Published in Mel’s words, "Unwashed stock holders" (Google it). How do you feel being the "Unwashed"?
My point is, this stock has years of history burning people. Media will be bashing it for a long time. Such a great service with big potential but so sadly run by a bunch of gangsters.
I am not bashing this stock. I am long, less long and happier. I tell the story because I wish someone had told me before… The history of the stock is important. How the CEO feels about the share holder is important. For SIRI these are big bad issues...

XM will ? But not in the US? I guess anything XM pays off is good for SIRI.
Wonder what scam Mel is up to now?
XM Satellite Radio Inc., a wholly owned indirect subsidiary of SIRIUS XM Radio (Nasdaq: SIRI - News), today announced the offering of $350 million in aggregate principal amount of Senior Secured Notes due 2013 to qualified institutional buyers pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and outside the United States in compliance with Regulation S under the Securities Act.
The securities have not been registered under the Securities Act, or any state securities laws, and may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration, except pursuant to an exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws.
Exemtion talk again, it must be a new Mel scam. Just hope this pays down some debt without getting us screwed again.
Stern said,
"It is about writes issues and Apple makes all that money. Now they wana make money on the Stern?"
I thought Itunes already sold Stern Show Podcast? His statement did not sound like he wanted Apple making any money on him.
Stern has 18 months remaining on his contract. Wow, that is going to be an issue soon...
This is huge. Get in now or I will be looking at you in my rear view mirror.
Takes a big man to bash a .35 cent stock.
LOL LOL
LOL
What a bunch of losers. Evil people. Trying to convince poor stockholders to give up there only chance at making a decent return on this company. WOW. How do these people look themselves in the mirror? And for what? $2 an hour? .25 cents a post? Incredible. Or to think they work for the short. Wow, hey dad, you would be proud of me. I work on wall street. What do you do son? O I work for a hedge fund whos sole job I do is to write lies and half truths and try to scare people are of their hard earned money. So proud of you son!!!
Either way, do we really want these types around?
I sure dont.
LOL LOL
LOL LOL
LOL
I cant laugh enough.
Pay attention boy, and you may learn something.IF you dont know that, or why, or what hes said about the company, you shouldnt be investing.
He said it in the 550 dollar loan.
He said in in the board seats. He said it to a reporter that he was not opposed to funding more money if necessary. All pointless now, because they just fulfilled a promise today. Mel promised to take care of all debt till 2011, and he just did it today. Went the notes get issed, he will clear away the 09, and 10 debt and repay most of the Liberty loan. They get a cheaper rate, and extend it to 2013. So theres your new date to chant about shorts. There going bk in 2013!!!!
LOL
LOL
LOL
Ill be sitting at $3 a share minimum by then, and remembering to my friends how in 2009 SiriusXM refied all there 2013 debt, and paid it off at the end of 2012 with cash on hand.
You’re the only one making tasteless direct attacks on people. Not very professional are you? You are not hurting anyone but yourself.
Your a long timer here and always selling SIRI no matter how bad. That tells me who is getting paid to sell SIRI.
You act like a child. Two years you have been screaming like a spoiled kid with your emotional SIRI love affair. Just get a life and a new job. We know all about you and your 10 users ID's.
Your one of the reasons Seeking Alpha dumped everyone off this board several months ago. Grow up baby!!!

Trading blows of good news with bad news.
Every word of good news gets a bashing from Cramer thestreet.com reviews. They downgraded today to sell. They say the Ipod App will not fly because of competition with free services.
At the same time…
Mel finally dipped into the Used Car Market (sort of). Pre-owned Volkswagens get free 3 month activation. No, Mel is not installing radios on used cars. Only an activation of already installed “qualified” models.
Pluck and pluck this turkey is stuck at 37 cents again.
Just more of the “to little to late” from our SIRI gangster…
