Sirius XM's Game Changer About to Rock

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.

New Sirius Revenue Sources

Your point is well-made. Finish the current undertakings with Satellite while simultaneously moving into the WIFI 'ubiqitious'---------.

Most people, including myself, have little understanding of how and if WIFI will work consistently and efficiently or if Satellites and Wifi can interface with each other.

Regarding the marketing of the IPhone applications-------Dustin Hermes makes some excellent points. One step at a time .

To this I would ad for consideration that personalities wax and wain in the entertainment and political fields-----Stern has been the key personality responsible for Siri's present day sucess. Eventually there will be a new personality or several as Stern becomes the gray eminence as is beginning to happen with the late night television shows.

Long Awaited Sirius XM iPhone App Available, Sans Howard Stern

Tyler, go to the internet and look at the come ons for the various market letters.

First they give you a little sampling by naming 3 stocks. Then the next is a full subscription for say 60 days------and yes you may cancel. Then the next is the year subscription-------all for the purpose of reading their analysis---their opinion--- right or wrong.

Siri is unique in this market----they don't need to give away the whole smear of stations as a sampling via the Apple application.

That's marketing, that's sampling the market------and yes I think SIRI/XM did it right.

Apple's 3.0 Update Is a Sirius Game Changer

Why would Sirius/Xm have to be exclusive to the Ipod-----why not have contracts with Blackberry and any of the other companies who want to have access?

IPOD has been around for awhile-----why not keep options open for other combinations?
