The Sirius XM application has been available for the iPhone and iPod touch for about a year. According to Engadget, a Sirius app is on its way to the Android platform, but the press release is littered with “DROID and Nexus One users”. I’m not sure why there would only be support for these two devices, but I’m sure the matter will clear up in the coming weeks as we approach the actual release of the application. Here is part of the press release:
The SIRIUS XM App for DROID and Nexus One will allow users to:
- Listen to over 120 channels of SIRIUS XM Premium Online programming on the go, even while surfing the web or checking email.
- Bookmark SIRIUS XM Premium Online channels for fast, easy access through a “Favorites” function.
- View the current channel plus what is playing on all other available channels via the “Lookaround” function.
The SIRIUS XM App for DROID and Nexus One will be available as a free download through the Android Market on the handset or by visiting www.siriusxm.com/android. After downloading the free App, users will then be able to register for a 7-day free trial to SIRIUS XM Premium Online on their compatible smartphones.
The full press release for the application can be found here. To subscribe for email notifications on the availability of the application for Android visit www.siriusxm.com/android
I have enough subscriptions as it is, and I love my Pandora radio, but I could definitely see myself jumping ship and signing up for Sirius. Is anyone with me?
