Sirius XM Radio today announced that an update to its free Apple iOS application, featuring a new iPad-optimized user interface, is now available on the iTunes App Store.  The SiriusXM Internet Radio App is designed for the iPad, iPhone and iPod touch and delivers over 120 SiriusXM channels of commercial-free music, sports, news, talk, entertainment and comedy programming on the go.

Included in the new design are album art and artist biographies, adding information and depth to the SiriusXM music experience and enhancing the visual appearance on the iPad’s large, high-resolution Multi-Touch display.  Technical updates included in the SiriusXM Internet Radio App improve audio quality and performance on cellular networks.

In addition, the new SiriusXM Internet Radio App for the iPad, iPhone and iPod touch also allows consumers to:

• Listen to over 120 channels of SiriusXM Internet Radio and multi-task on the go, even while surfing the web or checking email.
• “Lookaround” to see what is playing on other channels while enjoying the song currently playing.  On the iPad, the app features a full-screen display showing currently playing album art and program information for your favorite channels.
• Easily and quickly purchase music available from iTunes heard on SiriusXM, or add favorite songs to the shopping cart integrated into the App, by tagging them for later purchase.
• Save favorite SiriusXM Internet Radio channels for easy access through a “Favorites Channels” function.

Here is the info:

NiceMac is made up of 4 members all of which have always been
die-hard fans of Sirius and XM. Over the years we have individually
contributed to the ad-hoc player offerings available for Sirius XM
internet content. Last year, we all had the fortune of crossing paths
at which time we decided to band together and focus on helping deliver
Sirius XM content to subscribers everywhere and anywhere.

As of
yesterday,  the uSirius StarPlayr Application for iPhone still had a
status of “In Review” with Apple. Later in the evening we became aware
that the application was not rejected, however could not be approved at
this time.

As fans, we are committed to continuing to work with
all parties involved as necessary in any capacity required to see this
product to market. It is our goal, as it has always been, to release
this application at as low of a price point as possible, if not free of
charge.

We thank all of our supporters and users of our current
offerings, as well as those who have been patiently waiting and Beta
testing while we work to bring uSirius StarPlayr for iPhone to market. 

Sincerely,

The NiceMac Team 
Don’t be a slacker. Be a starplayer.

I wonder what the problem is? Would be nice to hear what Apple has to say.
