Satellite Radio Comes to the iPhone
With Sirius XM satellite radio company on a quest to raise its number of subscribers, the network is going after the younger crowd that is hip to Apple’s iPhone and iPod Touch. Traditionally offering either table top or car based satellite radio solutions, Sirius XM recently unveiled an accessory built for Apple’s products, the XM Skydock, that it hopes will bring a fresh wave of customers to its service. Apple stores will be carrying the product which is priced at a cool $120 per unit and expected to sell quite well with those who want a wider array of music and talk radio choices.
The Skydock offers a range of features that consumers have long demanded and provides an alternative to having to buy after market devices that might not function at the same level of integrity as those approved by Apple. When users plug their iPhone into the Skydock and then connect it to the cigarette lighter of their car, they will be able to hear their music through their car’s speakers. With a $13 per month subscription, consumers will have access to a wide range of content from the network that just might give iTunes something of a run for its money.
