Sirius XM Shows Off iPhone App

During it shareholder conference earlier this week, satellite radio mega-company Sirius XM showed off some shots from a forthcoming iPhone app that the company hopes will help jump-start its ailing revenue stream. The program will likely be available as a free download, but be subject to streaming fees, such as a $13 a month subscription.

The company's CEO, Mel Karmazin, didn't give out a lot of information about the app, though he did touch on a shopping feature which may be tied to iTunes downloads (if Apple has anything to say about it--which it almost certainly does). The company released this information during a recent earnings call,

The Sirius XM app will deliver an expanded programming lineup that includes the company's sports talk, news, comedy, and commercial-free music channel, as well as music showcase channels.
