Sirius Radio is now accessible for Sirius Canada customers via applications for the respective smart phones.

Go to the Sirius Canada website section on Mobile at http://www.sirius.ca/en/mobile/. 

Here you can download Sirius radio apps for Blackberry, iPhone, iPod Touch and Android mobile devices.  Once here click on the respective buttons at the left to download applications for your mobile device.

The apps are free for Sirius customers. If you do not have Sirius radio, you can download the app and enjoy a FREE Sirius radio trial and listen via your mobile device.

With this app you can carry Sirius radio with you pretty much anywhere you go. I realize this may eliminate the need for the Sirius Stiletto radio and the great portable features it has, but rest assured the Sirius Stiletto radio is still an excellent option for home, car and Sirius radio on the go.

I am interested in reader opinions and viewpoints on the Sirius radio apps. Please comment here for the benefit of other readers. Tell us what your kudos and criticisms of the apps.

The device is meant to help push iPhone/Sirius XM compatibility by providing a simple method for listening to satellite radio easily with the download of the company’s official App.

The add-on SkyDock will enable streaming radio through a streamlined gadget, enabling listeners to access music and talk programming from home or within their car.

More details will be unveiled at a New York City press conference taking place this week.

Considering that the official Sirius XM Radio iPhone App is still going to require a bit of waiting on the part of Canadian satellite radio fans, the existence of ooTunes, a cheap and viable alternative, may be just the answer.

ooTunes offers internet radio service from across the globe, allowing listeners to tune in to almost any available channel anywhere in the world, including Sirius and XM Canada programming.

Although the download isn’t necessarily of comparable quality to the official App already released on the American iTunes Store, ooTunes is definitely worth a shot for frustrated radio fans willing to try something new for only $2.99.

Members of the Digital Home Forums have received information that, while Sirius Canada can expect the App to arrive in the future, XM Canada users may be left out in the cold.

XM sent a statement (the entirety of which can be read through the link below) detailing their plan to provide satellite radio service only through Rogers and/or Telus smartphone customers.

Although it was released only a few short weeks ago, the official Sirius XM iPhone App has garnered an exceptional level of popularity from the user-base of the iPhone and iPod Touch.

The biggest news in the continuing success story of the Sirius XM iPhone App is the iTunes Store statistic of the program reaching over one million user downloads since it’s launch date of June 18th 2009.

Although Canadian users are still unable to access the service the immense popularity of the program suggests that a launch allowing Canadians to download the application would be a major success for the company.

Finally a bit of good news has arrived for those still hurting from the exclusion of Canadian support with the official Sirius XM iPhone App: an updated edition of WunderRadio.

The developers have announced new details of WunderRadio V1.8 through Twitter, detailing advances in audio support (improved MP3 and AAC buffering), stability, and, perhaps most exciting to those of us north of the border, improved support for the oft-ignored Sirius Canada.

The iPhone (and iPod Touch) App is centred on streaming internet radio stations to the mobile device and is available from the Canadian iTunes Store for $6.99.

Things continue to look up for Sirius XM Radio with the continued success of its long awaited (and highly anticipated) official iPhone App on the iTunes App Store ratings.

After only twelve hours of download availability the App went on to become the #1 free music application for iPhone users, beating out such longtime favourites as Pandora and Slacker Radio. The App was also declared as the sixth most downloaded free iTunes App of all time.

Even with a lack of Canadian support (and a Howard Stern channel) it continues to appear that Sirius XM has struck a home run in the release of their official App.

Not too shabby, Sirius.

Sirius XM has provided a bittersweet week for Canadian fans of satellite radio, releasing the long anticipated official iPhone App . . . but denying it to subscribers north of the US border.

The iTunes app provides access to 120 satellite radio channels and is available free. It touts all of the features that Sirius XM fans have been awaiting so anxiously and has been marked as the #1 free iTunes download due to immense popularity.

Unfortunately Canadians will have to hope for the acclaimed download to warrant a release apart from the American iTunes App Store if we want to check it out ourselves. Since there has been no official word on a release here in the north we’ll all simply have to wait and keep our fingers crossed.

iPhone owners have been anxiously awaiting further news regarding the release of the official Sirius XM iPhone App and now an ever-closer deadline has been set by the developers; the end of June/beginning of July this year.

The company appears to be putting a lot of faith in the ability of the Sirius XM App to aid in drumming up new business and keeping current subscribers happy but some appear to be more skeptical regarding the miracle iPhone release.

In any case, the end of June should at least clear up a lot of the confusion (and mounting anticipation) surrounding the long-awaited Sirius XM iPhone App.

iPhone fans will be happy to have a solid App published to help tide them over during the wait for the release of Sirius’ official software, still at least a few months away.

Pocket Tunes runs at a cost of $9.99 and allows for easy streaming of various satellite radio stations after only a brief ‘listening preference’ set-up process is completed.

Although the official application is planned as a free release, Pocket Tunes is definitely the best option for those that are sick and tired of waiting any longer.
