Howard Stern may have ignored the internet in his quest to broadcast his talk show without interference from The Man, but he’s going to end up on the iPhone anyway.
NiceMac uSirius StarPlayr, an iPhone application that’s still in beta (Windows Mobile screenshot to the right), lets Sirius XM subscribers stream channels over a cellphone or WiFi connection. When there’s access to the latter, bit rate jumps from 32 Kbps to 64 Kbps. The player displays lyrics, album art and buy links for Amazon and iTunes for when you hear a track you want to keep.
Multiple sources cited by satellite radio blog OrbitCast say StarPlayr will be submitted to Apple on Saturday, January 31. Assuming that’s correct, the app should show up in the App Store at some point next week, assuming Apple approves and processes the application by then (predicting when an app will show up in the store tricky even for the developers who submit the apps).
Satellite radio on the iPhone. Will someone remind Sirius XM why it pays for those satellites again?
