Voicedup dishes out on: SiriusXm, Yahoo
Sirius XM available on the Iphone & Ipodtouch…finally. There will be a lot of people paying $3 or $13 (depending on the package) instead of purchasing a satelite receiver for the car. The Iphone can be hooked up with an AUX cable to any car radio. The application will offer 120 channels of sports, talk and music. What is concerning is that Stern will not be available as part of this package. Could SiriusXM be working on another application seperately? Only time will tell. Another huge step for SiriusXm is Toyota installing the receiver at the factory.
Yahoo is taking a page out of Apple and RIMM, along the left side of the new homepage is a feature called the applications bar. It will feature apps that users can purchase (or free ones)for their home pages. For instance twitter can run from Yahoo, no need to go to twitter or leave Yahoos home page. This is a substantial revenue generator and surprised Google or Microsoft havent implemented.
