Please note the “uBROKE,” which pretty much sums up my iLife Apple Fan Boy ridiculousness:

• iPad 32GB

• MacBook Pro 17″
• MacBook 13″
• iMac (original Blueberry)
• PowerBook G4 15″

• iPhone 2G
• iPhone 3G
• iPod Touch
• iPod (original)
• Shuffle (original)

Not to mention 600-700+ apps (and growing)…

I’m just a bit over-excited about the recent announcement over at TUAW that the Sirius-XM iPhone app is finally on its way:

Sirius XM has revealed a screen shot of the soon to be released iPhone/iPod touch app that will stream the satellite channels to eager listeners.

Why the excitement?

Because—well—I’ve been waiting for well over a year along with every other Sirius and XM satellite radio subscriber. Yeah, it’s great that I can listen to the Sirius-XM stream at home or work using the Pulsar mac app, but in the car I’m stuck with using either Pandora or Last.fm (both are great for finding new music, but the streams are lower quality than I can deal with at times).

TUAW reports that the app will be free (yippie!), but requires a $3 per month streaming subscription. Not sure if this means my current internet streaming subscription counts, but we shall see in the coming months…

No, really?

Yeah, a lot of us are totally satisfied:

Among the most fascinating statistics that Harry collected were that the vast majority of respondents considered themselves either very or totally satisfied with the iPhone, with most rating the iPhone a good or excellent value.

My wishes have finally come true: Sirius is now accessible on the iPhone, thanks to Jason Millard’s brilliantly designed software uSirius for the iPhone.

Of course, you need an internet streaming subscription to Sirius in order for the player to work. I’ve had Sirius since its early days and gave my system to my sister when I moved overseas. I thought about buying another one, but decided to add on internet streaming to the account for $2.99 and stream to my Mac using StarPlayr2.

I knew eventually someone would develop an app for the iPhone and couldn’t be happier. uSirius is in beta and buggy, but with its most recent update yesterday I can’t complain—it works great—even over the Edge network.

If you can’t find the current update (v.62), then just add Millard Software’s repository to your sources list: http://www.millardsoftware.com/files/downloads/usirius/iphone/iphone.xml

Don’t bother with anything older than v.62—many of the channels don’t work correctly and end up playing Howard Stern instead.

I used it in the car today and was amazed at how well it worked. One quick tip: if you’re driving, make sure you turn off your WiFi connection. Otherwise, uSirius will disconnect and stop playing every time you drive by an available wireless signal. With that in mind, it takes about 30 seconds to buffer using Edge, but it sounds as good as my old Sirius car system did.

I can’t help myself. I’m a tech junky who loves his music too.
