Satellite radio software developer, StarPlayr, has announced their retirement from the industry after acting as the veritable leader of the field in previous years.

After numerous delays on their upcoming uSirius StarPlayr satellite radio iPhone App, Sirius XM Radio began work on their own, officially developed submission for the mobile device.

Now, StarPlayr has been left in want of a new, worthwhile venture. Their rejection by the iPhone App Store may very well have been the final straw for the company, causing their retirement from satellite radio developement.

Although the company hasn’t released an official reason for their decision, recent events seem to provide a clear enough picture of the cause.
