Namely, no Howard Stern.
Sirius XM have issued an update to the XM SkyDock app to version 1.13 that is said will improve response and loading speed while using the SkyDock receiver. (If you want to know more about the XM SkyDock, read the review here.)
According to the update description, the v1.13 update to the XM SkyDock app includes:
- An improved channel selection response while in Category Tuning mode.
- Improved time to load all channel categories after startup.

We heard that Slacker was showing off their mobile radio app for Google Android a few weeks ago, and now it's officially official - Slacker Radio is available for Android smartphones (including the Motorola DROID pictured above).
And while I'm happy for Slacker to keeping up with Pandora in entering the Android Market, this announcement irritates me because it just reminds me of how much Sirius XM are missing key opportunities.
The folks at NormSoft have upgraded the Pocket Tunes Radio iPhone/iPod Touch app to now have the ability to record any stream you want - including recording Sirius XM satellite radio.
The new XM SkyDock App for the iPhone/iPod Touch is now available (the icon is in the upper-left of the screenshot above).
Apparently Sirius XM Radio Inc. has decided to release it ahead of what we originally heard was scheduled.

Tonight at 12am ET, Slacker will turn on a new feature integrating Twitter with the personal radio service. An official press announcement will be made in the hours following the integration, Orbitcast has learned.
Hot on the news that the XM SkyDock will be available for shipment soon comes word that the accompaning XM SkyDock iPhone App (screenshot pictured above) is scheduled to be released early next week, according to a source familiar with the matter.
The new 2010 Lexus ES 350 comes with a series of upgrades: a new front fascia, new taillights, a new upgraded interior, and all-new subscription-based telematics products available on both non navigation-equipped and navigation-equipped vehicles.
You saw some up-close-and-personal photos of the XM SkyDock, but here's the fancy professional photos to whet your appetite even further, plus all the details you could ever want our of an iPhone dock.
First off, the XM SkyDock is a real satellite radio, with a real satellite radio subscription and a real XM chipset embedded within the dock. This isn't just an FM modulator for your iPhone with an XM badge.

The U.S. Census Bureau estimates that there are over 113.5 million households in the United States this year. Of those, 61 percent have a broadband connection and 28 percent have a home network, according to Forrester Research.
Now that's more than 69 million broadband-enabled, and 31 million networked households in the U.S. today.
With numbers like that, why try to reinvent the wheel? The ground work has already been laid. Satellite radio's next big opportunity is to use the internet to penetrate into the home.
The main hurdle, of course, is how to get consumers to accept it.
