Sirius XM updated their iPhone app yesterday to version 1.3.3 (Link). Included in this update is the ability to multitask (thanks to iOS4), reduced buffer while on a cellular network and the ability to organize favorite channels. Also included are several new settings and various bug fixes to improve stability. So far the reviews look positive with the only issue being the absence of Howard Stern.
Sirius XM also released a new version of the XM SkyDock app yesterday but unfortunately excluded the ability to multitask. The only update was improved accessory connections while using iOS4.
If you are using the updated iPhone app leave a comment and let us know what you think.
Look for an official announcement from Sirius XM Radio on May 11th about their new iPhone app.
Not sure if it will be released that day but there might be a good chance.
That is all for now. If I find out more I will post it up.
PS: Right now this is a rumor, I will confirm when I can.

Millard Software has released uXM beta v .53 for for iPhone and iPod Touch today.
The application is for jailbroken iphones and allows you to enjoy XM Satellite Radio on your iPhone or iPod Touch as long as you have firmware version 1.1.4.
An XM subscription is obviously required.
Millard also noted that there are still a few bugs being worked out, such as some channel logos not loading and the stream sometimes quitting after 30 minutes.
However, this will definitely get you through until July 11th when XM releases their official iPhone app in the App Store.
To Download:
Note: Your iPhone must be jailbroken.
- uXM is located in the iSpazio repository.
- Or, you can add the following repository to your Installer.app:

Select uXM – iPhone edition from the Multimedia Section.

Similar to iRadio, uSirius lets people stream Sirius Satellite Radio to their iPhones over Wi-Fi or EDGE (and shortly, 3G). Reader Brandon says that anyone can try this out for free for three days before registering, and that it works great over both connection types. Our own Benny Goldman went nuts when he saw this, so you Sirius fans should go equally nuts when you load this on your phones. But in a, you know, less hairy way. Grab it on Installer.app.
