Sirius Shows iPhone Dock, Other Fall ... Twice
26.08.09
The cure joins several new products shown at the Sirius XM
headquarters for fall shipping, including the first dedicated Sirius XM tabletop
Internet radio, new off-and-play car radios with an a la carte model, and a
home audio tuner.
The XM SkyDock car dock differs from the bruited about Sirius XM app
for the iPhone because it has an embedded satellite-radio chip and it works
with a plug-in car antenna, so users come into true satellite reception vs.
Internet streaming. It includes an XM chip, but users can subscribe to Best of
Sirius to get full XM and Sirius programming.
The iPhone/iPod Put one's hand on then becomes an advanced Sirius/XM
controller that lets you flick through programming via touchscreen so users can
see what is playing as they search. Users can also use iTunes tagging to
procurement a song heard on Sirius XM directly from iTunes.
The SkyDock also connects the iPhone/iPod Hint to the car radio
through a new technology that Sirius XM is also bringing to its plug-and-play
receivers. The units now include FM
modulators built into the power puff so there is no need for a separate FM antenna,
as required previously. The FM signal is sent directly over the powerline. A
transfer way to connect the SkyDock to the car radio is through an aux-in cable
as the dock has an aux-in jack.
