Sirius XM (SIRI) is about to rock. Several months ago, when I first wrote about the possibility of Sirius XM turning all of the iPhones and iPod Touches out on the street into full-fledged satellite radios with a simple accessory dock, it was pure speculation. My speculation was based on the technological capabilities of Apple’s (AAPL), then yet to be released, iPhone/iPod Touch OS 3.0 update. While researching the OS 3.0 SDK released to developers, it suddenly hit me. I remember the exact moment I connected the dots. I lifted up my head and I remember thinking, “Wait a minute, I think I’m onto something big here — this could be a game changer!”

I can now report that Sirius XM’s game changer is about to rock. Sources familiar with the situation are now confirming that this Wednesday, August 26th, Sirius XM will be unveiling the iPhone/iPod Touch accessory docks that I speculated about three months ago. Sirius XM will be hosting a special invitation only media event in New York that day to show off their new products to be available this holiday season. The invitation reads: “View the new lineup of radios and accessories from Sirius XM for the home, office, vehicle and beyond.” Satwaves received a press invitation and will be covering the event live as permitted.

xmskydockInformation is beginning to leak out offering us clues about what else we might expect to see at the event. Just yesterday, XMfan.com reported that the iPhone/iPod Touch accessory docks would be called “SkyDocks” and they provided a picture with that name inscribed on the accessory in the diagram. They are also reporting that Sirius XM will be unveiling a new FM modulation technology that will be replacing the cumbersome SureConnect system. The new FM modulation technology works off of the car's electrical system and will not require an external wire to the vehicle’s antenna as the SureConnect system did. This technology would make the new iPhone/iPod Touch accessory docks virtually plug and play — even in vehicles without iPod integration or an audio-in auxiliary jack. Other possibilities include dock enabled boomboxes and portable accessory kits with antenna headphones.newradio

With over 40 million iPhones and iPod Touches out on the street, there is a huge opportunity for Sirius XM to bring the wonders of satellite radio to the masses. A whole new market will open up for Sirius XM with the release of these accessories. No longer will satellite radio be confined to only the car stereo section. These accessories will be available wherever iPhone and iPod Touch accessories are sold — including the nation’s Apple stores. With the purchase of a simple accessory, all iPhone and iPod Touch owners will have a full-fledged satellite radio receiver capable of receiving Sirius XM’s full satellite line-up — everything, everywhere. During the Satwaves Radio Show last Monday, a caller named Fred from Arizona, when faced with the possibility of getting Howard Stern on his iPhone via an accessory dock, exclaimed “That could be a game changer!” I agree.

    First I have to state that I do not own nor am shorting SIRI.
    I Have XM in my car and I love it.
    I do not however understand how this is a GAME Changer. I see a little potential but not as much as you do.
    The problem with sat radio is not that the sets were expensive for consumers so that buying a supposedly cheaper receiver accessory and connecting it to the ipod/iphone will mitigate this problem.
    In fact most new cars came with a free satellite receiver anyways.
    the problem was that the subscription is too high for consumers and too low to make a profit.

    I will buy SIRI every day and take 4 cents a share. But I will not hold over night.

    GS sets the price of SIRI. I will not have my hope broken and all my work avg down wasted in a GS suckering. I will not believe SIRI has a future until I see it over the $1.00 mark.

    We are seeing short covering today. Short lived spike so enjoy it.

    More up possible next week
    The end of month product news has leaked already. However, some speculation remains with the Ipod Dock as it may not be released next week.

    When the dust clears and SIRI has not reached a buck, GS will drag the stock back and prep for the rev-split. I hope I am wrong and we get to the $1.00 mark. But I will not get my hope broken again.

    The .006 float in NOT out the window. But GS has changed the game for the short term sucker play... Way too much risk for me to hold over night,,,

    Does it NOT seem strange?

    SIRI lingered for months at 30 – 40 cents.

    Just two weeks after the NasD 1.00 rule is announced to be reinstated SIRI suddenly starts jumping.

    Not strange to anyone?

    Well I have avg down from a $ 280,000 lose in my love for SIRI. Oh yah, all love was lost and I don’t trust this action…

    Maybe GS is pushing for the buck as a favorer to Malone. I am not banking on that idea.

    I'm excited about the potential of the announcments, but I'm thinking that the number of iPhone Owners without Sirius or XM already in their car is limited. In other words, If you are paying out for an iPhone, you probably drive a relativly new car with Sirius XM already in it.

    What I am excited about is the possibiilty that that will announce a pure Sirius XM boombox. One that doesn't require a plug in receiver. I mean a pure and simple Sirius XM boom box!

    I'd also like to see a portable SiriusXM Assessory, so I could take an iphone into a basesball stadium and listed to MLB when not in my car.

    Anyone who becomes exposed to satellite radio knows there is no going back to terrestial radio - AM or FM. There simply is no comparison and this is definitely the wave of the future. The more appliances and applications that make this experience available, the better the prospects become for Sirius XM to cross market over a variety of platforms. Users of satellite radio within their cars become users of satellite radio in their homes, and vice versa. I recently took a nine hour car trip through a variety of states and was able to listen to a continuous stream of great music, business news, regular news and commentary, sports, and comedy. Try doing that with Pandora - or any other so-called "competitor" to satellite radio. There is absolutely no rationale to believe these other services come close to Sirius XM in terms of quality and variety broadcasting. There is also no other media stream of this quality anywhere close to the extremely low monthly charges - about the same as one dinner at Burger King! The universe is opening up for Sirius XM and there is no other service like it.

    I doubt this will help SIRI very much. Truth is, most people don't care/don't like sat radio. It's just not for them. SIRI has only been able to gain subs by bundling radios/services into new car sales. But, almost all those subs cancel service when the first year expires. There are more subs deactivating than are signing-up. If SIRI didn't bundle its service with auto manufacturers and rental agencies, then there would be hardly any sub growth. And, all those subs end up leaving anyway. SIRI is a niche product/service that only appeals to a small portion of consumers. Integrating with the iPhone makes the service better for regular SIRI listeners, but won't help recruit new users. It may help current users renew, instead of letting the service expire, but it just means they have to spend more money for the add-ons. Almost everyone I know has, or rather had SIRI, and didn't care for it at all. Didn't meet expectations. I hear complaints about commercials when folks were under the impression there were none. The music content is poor, it's all the songs you never heard of from the artists everyone has heard of.... and those same songs play over and over, AND on multiple stations.

    One or two like it for Stern or other niche content, but the other 90% feel it sucks for the money. iPhone users I know use Pandora and other streaming apps. Sat radio is novelty, not for the masses, and internet radio feeds will supplant potential sat radio subscriptions

    Turley you could not be more wrong if people didnt like it that much we would not have over 18 million subscribers. I dont listen to howard and i renewed my sub infact i have 3 and i listen to the other talk and news media channels. Due to the recession 44 percent of people get subscription after the trial is up. That is a lot of people and when the economy comes back that will go back up above 50 like it was before. So for you and sirius doom shut the **** up

    Nothing like SIRI on long trips to avoid fading/cowboy music only. Really fun to use rcvr at home tuned to old radio shows for late night listening.
    Great service

    With all the SIRI paid propaganda bloggers, someone like me is very needed to post the reality of SIRI corruption.

    I am trying to save a few good people from being hurt bad in this stock. Until the rev-split is played out, this stock can not be trusted.

    turley muller,
    I do not know who you work for...but you could not be more wrong. Define ....most people...Do you mean most people who have never heard the service? If so I agree....because they are clueless as to what it is. However, I can tell you from personal experience...that anyone who I know that has ever listened to SIRIUS XM either in my car or at my house...has become a sub,and I don't think you can make a comment like that when they have over 18,000,000 subscribers...that's not nobody!

    I'd much rather be stuck listening to AM radio which although is much more easily accessible is sounds consistenly horrible no matter where you are listening to it. AH HA FM you say!? How about I live in NYC we have about 10 channels that ALL play the same 5 songs and when they are not playing that bubble gum BS or doing the most lame and annoying skits they are playing commercials about debt consolidation, refinancing your mortgage or dating websites, really winner there. Siri/XM gives you access to your niche weather it be news, polotics, wallstreet, rock, rap, pop or any other freaky crap you might listen to when no one else is around, you have the choice and ability to do it. That's the whole point here, giving people the option to listen to WHATEVER they want and not having to settle for what's available in their market. I am a fond believer in the fact that you have had to expierence SAT radio, and then return to AM/FM to truly realize how much better it is. That was the selling point to me, after my 3 month subscription was up I figured aw F' it, I'm not paying for it. After a week of AM/FM hell I had it turned back on as soon as possible and have been on since. If my parents can fall in love with on a 3 month trial I really feel like anyone can.

    I Have to agree that this is a "game changer" for the radio industry. I have been a long time XM subscirber and have introduced it to many family members and friends. Your point that the expensive recievers were not a deterent is incorrect. You are just focused on receivers that were in new cars. True, the cost to new car buyers was not a deterent for them to try satelite. In fact it was free and there was no upfront cost even for the first few months. Where the problem came was people thinking, "I'm not going to pay for radio just to listen while I drive to work. I only drive an hour a day or so". Then while I work, excercise, or when I am in the house doing chores I still have to listen to my ipod. Their only choice to get satelite outside there car was the Stileto, XMP3 type of portable devices. They cost well over $200.00 each and guess what,,,you had to pay for another subscription on top of that. Now, it gets too expensive. In fact, I would never pay $12.95 and only be able to listen in my car. I work out, commute by bus and train sometimes, etc..I have the xmp3. Now, with these Ipod products the game is changed. Those with commutes too short to pay for satelite radio and have an ipod can spend an additional $2.99 and they have satelite everywhere. All who have ipod or iphones can try the service and if they like it, $12.95 to listen to over 120 chanels in your car, at the gym, everywhere for the same $12.95. The ipod touch is no longer attached to a wireless network in your house. True, howard and live sports won't be available truly portable, but dock it and you got it for all those millions of true Stern fans. Also, other accessories sound like this will be a self install for most cars also. So someone with an old car and thought getting satelite installed in their car was too much money, can now just buy the dock and use their ipod or iphone and get it installed and set up for under $100.00...the game has changed.....Last example, this past fathers day, I knew someone who was given an XMP3 and he told his wife to take it back. The reason being that Ipod touch was "cooler". Why get an XMP3 and then have to pay the subscription. he never even heard of it, or how good the content was. He was fixed on ipod touch with video and everything else. Now that he has the ipod touch, he has the option of trying sirius xm content, and if he likes it...keep it and install in his car for under $100.00 bucks. Let's face it, besides content...Sirius XM portable players were not in the class as the ipod touch or iphones as far as overall utility...games, video, etc...If they announce in the near future (hopefully next week) other smartphones will follow , then Sirius XM will really take off! I want to invest also in the company that makes these docks....

    Yah Well, call a broker at Bank of America. They have SIRI scheduled for the pink sheet.

    But, a day trader does collect on playing a stock on the way up. The trick is to stay out of the risk. I see an announcement coming soon on the NasD delisting. That is risk.

    However, because you can not see this and call me a A$$, than you must be a moron. Keep up with the direct attacks and choice verbiage. It makes you look like a smart monkey…

    Turley,
    You are officially a basher. Your commentary about the service is beyond clueless. There is more variety on SIRIUS XM than you can even possibly listen to. I have 2 XM lifetime subs and a SIRI sub...The diveristy of programming and the commercial free music has been a godsend...especially while sitting in traffic along the Northeast corridor on I-95. You obviously know little to next to nothing about SIRIUS XM....what happened....did SIRI -DOOM recruit you to be his new bash partner? You anti SIRI people kill me....you put an awful lot of effort into bashing a company you don't like. Just a suggestion...if you don't like it...move along...let folks judge for themselves...they don't need your calculated comments meant to sway people against the service....but maybe that's your job...guess you are not doing too well at it!

    If SIRI is NOT trading at or over 1.00 by September 12, the NasD will be sending a delisting warning letter.

    How could anyone have ever bet against the Mel and Howard combo. Sold as the debit was coming due and bought just before the Dday for the company. 9cents was one hell of a bargain for 18 million subscribers and the best combo in media.

    Most people "I know" who bought a new vehicle with sat radio and didn't renew or eventually cancelled. Myself included. I am not saying that people don't love it, there are die hard fans. For some, it's an awesome service that they love. But, that's not the majority. They majority of subs have canceled.

    when you factor in that there have been over 30M gross subs, almost half have deactivated. More than half cancel after the trial, thus the sub growth is inflated since more than half don't convert. If it weren't for the trials/promotions and OEM support there would be very little growth.

    I am not bashing the company, just giving my opinion and analysis. I think SIRI needs to try to extract more revenue from their heavy users, ones that love sat radio because they are obviously willing to pay a lot more because they perceive substantial value in SIRI offerings. The iPhone app and dock are good strategies to accomplish that.

    not strange to me this was being D-listed for a while when this was still at 30/40 then the news came out on the QTR reports which drove the stock up now this news / I think if anything there will be striving to get this to 1.00 you have little over 2 weeks left and if this keeps jumping as it is then you will see a 1.00 soon enough .30 is not much / so where will you be Siri-Doom when this does reach a 1.00 you sold at .57 did you buy back in at .60? because that is a great percentage your missing if you have not reinvested and alot of shares lost as well if you have just now. I too sold some at .56 yesterday before this climbed to bring me back in at .58 / But so far my predictions have been right about the stock....

    Scot's Slant here. Dr. Doom, you tell me to "get my mouth off you." My mouth is not on you, It' on what you say. So here's the question: Tell me why a rev-split is like a virus. The way I figure it, if it's a 10-1 split, and you take today's share price of $.70, then that would mean each share after the split would be worth $7.00. So what's the difference? 10 shares worth $7.00 or 1 share worth $7.00?

    And one more thing: If my addition is wrong, clue me in.

    if you had 5k shares when this splits to 10 this will only give you 500 shares 5000/10=500 5000 * .70 = 3500.00, which can still go up and this will be dragged back down below 1.00 if the R/S happens if everyone sells so your 500 shares will only be worth 450.00 total if under a 1.00. from where it was at 7.00 @ 3500.00 I have 8k shares now and I want this to get to 1.00 I would rather have 8000.00 than to have 5600.00 because 800 * 7.00 = 5600 since I have 5800.00 already with it being at .68

    so bottom line is your 3500.00 at 7.00 will mean nothing if this takes a nose dive back to a 1.00 you do the math

    how do you know that a warning letter will even hold weight when it comes to dragging down the stock unless this is factual I would not take this to heart. I would think if Mel wanted this the GS program would certainly drag this back down below levels so close to the whistle for half time

    The 006 float is on hold for the sucker play

    Goldman Sachs has changed the game in the short term. We have news coming on Wed about junk for Ipod. I see GS driving up the sp but holding it under the buck.

    This is a sucker play and I have seen it before.
    They are driving it up and taking advantage of short covering. They will announce the delisting warning letter news and nose dive. GS, Mel and insiders will be the only winners…

    They want the split to reduce the issue. It was the original plan announced on Dec 18, 2008. The rev-split will be good for SIRI in the future in many ways.

    But, I still hold 40,000 shares original pre-merger. I will need to dump. I will not let GS get any more of my money. So, I day trade 70,000 shares in and out when possible to make 4 cents. It is the safe play…

    You nailed it! Too many free apps available for Apple users to care about sat radio. Unless your in the transporation business, most people live within a 20 mi radius most of their lives.

    Technical projections revised upward: A brief update -
    Based upon the continued strengthening of upside momentum seen over the last week, and the power of the upside break of significant previous levels of resistance around .60, all former projections of near term to intermediate term objectives are now being revised upward by .25. This raises targets for the November release of 3rd Qtr. earnings and guidance figures to 1.00 (from the previous forecast of .75). Potential is indicated toward 1.25-1.50 over the next six months to one year and toward 4.00 over the next few years. Tomorrow I will post further details as to why and how these levels are projected, based upon the sequence of significant pivots in recent months, duration of trendlines that have now been broken on the upside (with little or no tendency to pull back), etc.
    All of this is indicative of a strengthening framework for SIRI and upside objectives have to be revised accordingly.

    The reason a reverse split (or the hint thereof) is feared is because historically its only been done by companies who are badly managed - after all it takes talent to take a company that far down in a normal market.
    Hence, I agree that a reverse split or delisting warning will negatively influence the stock in the short term. Take a look at the performance of AIG in the days surrounding its R/S if you doubt me.

    However, if the business is fundamentally sound (and a conversion rate of subs from free to paid of 40+% tells me it is), then that dip is short lived. Again, refer to AIG's performance in the last 30 days...

    Personally, I am currently taking some profits and getting ready to jump in again when / if inevitable dip occurs.

    in the 6 month + timeframe I love this stock

    that is fine how you play it I will keep all in and if I see it drop by .02 I will sell at market limit of -.05 total from the price so I would have a safety net because I have money sitting in there since .48

    Me too!!! One system without all of the strange cords, bells and whistles to be added. I have a couple of boxes of old electronic junk-----except for one piece and that is my 1968 Sony Transistor Radio that still works. That is precisely what Siri/XM needs ---one unit.

    Oh, I think you are so wrong. Sirius Xm is going to be a staple for audio entertainment in its own right. It still is the best kept secret in audio entertaiment and the slow down in subs is due to a couple of events, one being the confusion & length of the merger and the other of course is the economy. The combined content bundled together is uncomparable to any other audio listening experiance. It of course is not for every one, but it will have mass appeal as time will tell. It's live, it's national (soon to be international)it's happening and it covers so many genres that I must beg to differ with your opinion. I also am for using the idle Sat. radios for going head to head w/ terr. radio w/ a sponsorship type limited format that also educates the listener to the offerings of a paid subscription. They due to belt tightening have not marketed the product the way it deserves, but hope to see more branding in the future.

    I'm another who anxiously awaits blankfein's perp walk. It's like these thieves stumbled onto Joe Kennedy's market manipulation journal. But old Joe also created the SEC to stop others from the practice in the future. Hopefully the SEC will be allowed & willing to do their job if our National Socialist experiment fails.

    In any event, I don't think GS is an immovable object and I don't think they can stop this train. I intend to take 1/3 of my profits off the table at $1 per, but i'll still hold a bunch.

    By the way, when you see somebody at the table cheating, just bet with them. GS ain't that hard to figure out.

    Technical projections revised upward base upon acceleration of momentum over the last week: I have revised objectives for the upcoming near, intermediate, and longer terms - in line with the continued strengthening of the framework influencing all trading for SIRI. Potential is now indicated toward .90 to 1.00 around the time of the 3rd Qtr. release in November and toward 1.50 over the next six months to one year. Longer term potential is indicated toward 4.00, representing a 50% retracement of the downside move from December '05 to the bottoming formation of the past 10 months.
    All technical characteristics of current trading patterns in SIRI portray continued strengthening and a dominance of upside momentum over the foreseeable future. Risk/reward clearly favors long positions, as pullbacks are meeting strong underlying support and overhanging resistance is diminishing.

    Turley - I renewed with a lifetime sub in my vehicle. Like someone else said on here, once people try sat radio, there is no going back. I was NOT a radio listener, ever; And I guess I'm not now, but a have Sirius on constantly in car and on my laptop because of the news channels like CNBC, CNN, BBC etc. Sirius/XM is positioned to only go in one direction: up. As technology keeps advancing, the little toys and improved transmission techniques will keep pushing it farther and farther into everyone's life until it is a "must" to have. I don't see a lot of upside limit as a matter of fact; it all depends on your timeframe.

    What is a game changer? Its a paradigm shift and putting an iPhone accessory for sat radio is not a game changer. What would be game changer is to have Satellite WiFi, then you could access the internet, internet radio, etc from any device. Sat Radio is just a medium, temporary at that, and held together with the rubber band of a few talk show hosts. Though there is an audience willing to pay for radio, I am not in that demographics and neither is any other technical/professional that I know of. I have seen the use of sat radio among on the road community and I dont believe its large enough to save them.

    "But I will not hold over night".!!! Well, this type of thinking cost you another 8%! Listen!!! Investing in stocks under $1.00 is risky business...If you are a pu$$y then invest in safer equities. Trust GOOGLE or some other stock that moves at best 2%. Stocks like SIRI are higly speculative and you gotta be willing to ride the waves up or down, and be willing to lose money. Stop crying and whining about bullsh*t!!!Crooks and DOOM nonsense....Where else can you double your money in a few months or make 8% overnight! This is risky business...not for pu$$ys...Do your own research and make your decision...In or out!!!Protect your self, dont worry about evryone else....I repect peoples opinions, but all the Doom warnings without facts are "bad Karma". Lets start a petition to put an ignore option on this blog!!! I've made more than the average persons salary in 3 months on this, and I have people saying how this is a bad stock? STFU!!! If you think it is at its peak, thats fine. I respect your opinion...but if you been saying since the stock was $.34 cents how bad it is and now its approaching $.80 and you still keep saying how bad it is......STFU!!You just lost thousands if you got real money to invest...., and you get you thrills off peoples negative responses...... I'm here to make money and get peoples opinions on how to make more!! Not with who is a crook, or conspiriacy theories with no facts behind it...!

    Whay are any posters who are not Crameresque cheerleaders being attacked?
    My car came with XM. It was wonderful, but I also have a disc-changer, so why pay and pay? Millions of Americans are not employed, and millions more are deleveraging; luxuries will get sacrificed.
    I still have thousands of shares and lots of hope for the expansion (and miniturization) of the product.
    But investors must be realists. This is an investment website, not a Sirius fanpage on Facebook. Subscriber growth, retention, and sustainable cash flow are legitimate questions.

    If your stance cannot be quantified, then take the "Sirius sucks" or "you're a dumb basher" attacks to yahoo finance.

    Pandora is free

    Pandora is better than sat radio

    I see no need for a sat dock for iPhone or iTouch. My latest vehicle came with SIRI sat radio pre installed and I used it for free trial, then I let it expire. Service was OK, but I do not need it. I can plug my own unlimited tunes in for free in the car. At home, Pandora over wifi on iTouch rocks, and it's free. I think there will always be a market for sat radio, especially if they have exclusive content deals, but it will be limited. The millenial generation (born between 1977-1996, a demographic slightly larger than baby boomer generation)thinks digital content should be free, plain and simple. Their opinions and behavior will drive the future of digital content distribution.

    Well, I agree that having wi-fi access available on any device would be great. Mel has stated that they are working on that. However, if you going to start wi-fi access wouldn't you want to start on the most popular cell phone and wi-fi capable mp3 player? Yes...Now anyone with an ipod touch or iphone has the ability to listen wi-fi or in their car when wi-fi is not available. I'm sure apps for blackberry and Pre are coming soon. I really think people are overestimating the power of wi-fi on a national level. There are some locations where your wi-fi signal will be too weak to get a quality signal. Satelite will always be needed. Think outside the box..boats, planes, areas in the boondox....You don't want to depend on your wi-fi coverage if you paying for premium radio...Well, not right now, maybe in a few years there will nation wide 4g

    First let me say that I am an XM subscriber for my car radio and I am very happy with the service. Particularly for Jazz music, it provides me with programming that I cannot easily find on FM radio in my area. My car subscription also comes with the ability to listen through web-based access to their programs through a browser or a Windows Vista gadget on my home computer.

    But, I'm confused as to why this is a game changer when there is already an iPhone app that delivers the Sirius/XM program data stream to my iPhone over the 3G network? This service already requires a premium subscription which has presumably added some marginal increase in revenue from existing subscribers, but should already be represented in their revenue numbers.

    I've tried this service through the one week trial offer and found the sound quality to be completely acceptable; roughly equal to the iPod capabilities of my iPhone, and I can receive all the programs I am used to listening to in my car.

    But why would I want to spend extra money on a bulky add-on dock to receive something that I already can receive without any additional hardware? Easy portability is one of the major features of the iPod/iPhone paradigm and extra hardware just doesn't fit in.

    SIRI You readiliy admitted that you lost a lot of money investing in SIRI before the merger. I understand you anger, but constantly spewing you bile will not help you or anyone else in this case. That is unless you want everyone else to wallow in your misery alongside you. By attempting to drive the stock down, you are purpetuating the very thing you say will cause the failure. You will probably never recover all your losses with SIRI. Take your money and invest it somewhere else. Living with and spewing the hatred that you do is not good for your health. Find something positive to think about and do. You spend way too much time blogging negativity on one particular company...In short, get over it.

    I believe that SIRI will continue to climb and that it is a good investment. Apparently there are other who think so as well. Holding 40K will help to recover some of the losses and hopefully put you into a better position.

    As with any investment, I will watch SIRI and will monitor the business actions. As long as it is climbing, I will hold. If there is a delisting warning I along with many other will probably sell. I dont believe that will happen though. I see Mel along with the rest of the staff at SIRI/XM making honest attempts at building a good strong company through diverse services and products. Also I dont believe John Malone is int he habit of making bad investments. If he thought SIRI was at risk of failure, he would not have made the investment he did.

    So are you going to shoot down all of the people who oppose the clear and deliberate effort by public officials, lawmakers and lobbyists to kill of satellite radio?

    I didn't think so.....

    Satellite radio is an emerging and important technology that threatens old-school radio and the fortunes of those that own it or get paid by it. Senator Herb Kohl in WI is a perfect example. So they do everything they can to kill it off and low-and-behold, it continues to live. Because it's innovative, because we are sick of censorship and because it continues to evolve.

    Whats to say that SIRI doesn't become a free service? Charge for the Radios and give away the service. 150 million listeners would bring in plenty in advertising.

    You are seeing day and week traders dumping for a quick buck. Should see a couple of cents run back up before the market closes and those people will be pouring back in next week.

    Pandora is great for listening to music generated by some computer to suit your tastes. Satelite has more personality with dj's and special programming such as talk shows, comedy, and sports. As far as your unlimited music, how is that possible on an ipod? When was the last time you heard a brand new unedited song for the first time on your ipod? Sirius XM is a great way to discover new artists as well as being able to hear your favorite artists new song first. With your "unlimited" playlists...dont you have to hear the song or hear about it then go download it? Personally, I use to have a large library of songs on my ipod...I got tired of downloading and making playlists..Id rather let a professional dj pick my songs and hear new stuff too. However, I see you point. A lot of younger people grew up with mp3 players and just want to hear "their songs". You will grow tired of that soon enough. You will mature and not want to go and download and make playlists to listen too. You will have more important things to do...turn on your satelite radio and your set...I'll challenge Pandora any day with my XM...I can have anyone in the world come in my car...and I can put on a station for them. I can have the biggest Thug on the street to the ArchBishop, and I can put on a station they will love. I can even find a station for someone who hates music and just wants to hear talk about just about anything from politics, comedy, gay/lesbian, african american, you name it. Pandora just plays a computerized playists...Not comparable.. They are only "good" because they are "free". Try listening to pandora while you drive in remote areas also....

    This is a game changer for Sirius XM Because it will give a spark to its retail business. Now they don't have to have their lonely section in the back corner of best buy for their retail units. You don't have to buy a "satelite radio" anymore. You can buy an ipod touch or iphone and get the full service that way. Now sirius xm can have their docks in the mp3 section, promoting the 7 day trial for those to try the service. Howard Stern and sports can be an additional selling point for the dock. Sirius XM is effectively leaving the hardware to those that do it best. Apple now is effectively taking over the portable satelite business. If you went to best buy for audio entertainment and had a choice of an ipod touch or portable satelite, what would most do? they choose the ipod touch...Now thats fine...you can do that and still get sirius xmwith that. They no longer have to compete with their one time biggest competitor that was destroying them. They can now be partners for great audio entertainment. All those ipod touch users tired of having to download songs...great get sirius xm....tired of music..great listen to a great talk show on sirius xm....You a Mom that has no time to make a playlists and dont really care for music, then listen to Oprah Radio on your ipod touch....Potential is huge for all demographics......

    If you want to get a good prediction on where the next day is going then take a look at the after hours trades today. They are right on 90+% of the time. Friday's are typical sell days and we finished up. 3million shares to the positive from the buzzer till now.

    the after hrs looks like it is going down as well closer to the close / I am glad it is up but dont be fooled / that was a huge pull back today at 2:30 and can really screw us over still
    seeing the market was purly up so this kind of tells me that we are not totally out of the woods witht the manipulation / this could of easily gone to .80 today and hold lvls if we had pure investors more than day traders wanting the stock to go up to 1.00 (I would have to say my predictions have been right this past week from last saying this would go to .70 by the end of this week and be around .75 by next week

    maybe dropping 2 to 3 cents like it has this week after shooting up but dropping by 8 cents is a bit much. It almost felt like the early days this year when it would raised to .15 then lose it all in a matter of hrs. I almost pulled the trigger today with a market stop sell order at .68 which it did go down to .685 from .77 in a matter of minutes.

    The after hrs is ok at times but remember this has always been more of investing than during the day because of trading issues with the stock during the day

    A thought about the ipod touch dock and it's easy install option. If it is as easy as I have heard to install. It sounds like the most difficult thing would be the antenna wire routing for the car. The mounting of the dock and power option should be a 5 minute job.I'm thinking a little out side the box and don't know if it would be doable but...Why not have a promotion where if you buy an ipod touch and a sirius xm dock you get it installed for free at your local retailer. Have the GEEK SQUAD download the app with free 7 day trial right on site. The install should be a 10-15 minute job, the Ipod touch or iphone user gets to drive out with the ability to listen to ipod in car. Another thing not possible before this is the ability to drive out after you purchase of ipod touch with an immediate virtually unlimited audio experience. No rush to buy or download a bunch of songs before it becomes a "fun" device. Drive out listenining to your favorite music or talk or comedy. Note...Ipod touch users can not use Pandora or any other wi-fi service in car in most places. If Sirius XM has to subsidize the install payment to the retailer, they should only have to pay a percentage...Also, it would still be a cheaper cost than the installation in a new vehicle. It should cost at most $70.00 per install. .The purchase of an ipod touch and dock would be about minimum $350.00..Best buy use to have promotions for free installs with terrestrial radio purchase over $99.00....This would be a great selling point for both companies for the upcoming holiday season...

    The reason for the friday afternoon dump is people don't want to hold an equity over the weekend on margin. A lot of margin buying go's on when stocks move quickly but most dont want the interest or risk lingering over the weekend. My shares are paid for so im staying put. We finished afterhours up so we should see monday morning open up about a nickel. This is a recovery to asset/cash level which is close to a a dollar but everyone will see the light at the end of the tunnel and drive it way over. I say we see close to .80 monday and we should top .85 this week. The last 15 cents to a dollar will be quick as RS fear will mellow. Let us see what SIRI brings us. Position LONG SIRI

    I do think that the skydock will bring in new revenue for the company.

    I do not own the stock now but will buy it Monday.

    $1.00 will be easy within a month.

    Chart is very bullish now.

    Sure glad SIRI is about to rock. This explains why this penny stock has been so strong after crossing its 200MA in June.

    Unfortunatly for any long-term investor in SIRI or XM they already got rocked or should I say Stoned-To-Death.

    Thanks for the article you should work for the SIRI PR department. I love SAT Radio but I'm sure gald I didn't try to bottom fish this stock in 2007-08. No-doubt the Apple Fans will be touting this story too.
