Sirius XM iPhone app about to debut

Nice to see that Sirius XM is catching up with the rest of the media world and have finally developed an app for the iPhone. NiceMac announced they will submit the new app, called uSirius Starplayer, to Apple for approval on January 31. The approval process could take anywhere from a week to several months, but once it is approved, iPhone owners will be able to stream Sirius and XM offerings to their phone.

The app will run between $13 and $20 (the NiceMac folks still haven’t decided yet), and the standard monthly Sirius XM subscription fee of $12.95 will be required. No word yet if Sirius XM will offer a discount on the subscription fee if the iPhone is a secondary device on a plan, similar to what it offers for secondary radios. NiceMac co-partner Todd Bruss says he receives about 100 e-mails a day asking when uSirius Starplayer will be released. If that’s true, expect this one to be pushed through Apple’s approval process quickly.
