Fans of SIRIUS XM will be happy to know that the company will soon release an Android compatible version of its free mobile application. The app will enable Droid (Milestone?) and Nexus One owners (and presumably others) to have access to the over 120 channels of satellite radio.
Currently, the SIRIUS XM app is available for iPhone, iPod Touch, and Blackberry devices, but Android will now be added to the list.
The company has expressed intentions to release the Android app this May 2024 and that all users of the app will receive a free 7-day trial of the satellite radio premium online service.
The SIRIUS XM App will give subscribers to SIRIUS or XM Premium Online who own a DROID or Nexus One the ability to access exclusive sports talk and entertainment programming from SIRIUS XM’s satellite radio service. Exclusive programming includes MLB Network Radio, SIRIUS NFL Radio, NHL Home Ice, PGA TOUR, Mad Dog Radio with Chris Russo, CNN, Fox News Talk, NPR, MSNBC, The Foxxhole channel presented by Jamie Foxx, Blue Collar Comedy Radio, The Virus featuring Opie & Anthony, Playboy Radio, Rosie Radio, Oprah Radio, and Martha Stewart Living Radio.
Certain programming, including MLB Play-by-Play, NFL Play-by-Play, SIRIUS NASCAR Radio, and Howard Stern, will not be available via the SIRIUS XM App for DROID and Nexus One. Listeners will continue to be able to access that programming through the SIRIUS XM platforms where they are currently offered.
Once released, the SIRIUS XM app will be available for download via the Android Market. For now, Android owners can sign up to be notified for when the app goes live.
