Unnamed sources are telling Orbitcast that the uSirius Starplayr program will be submitted to the Apple App Store over the weekend, and hopefully a very short time later available to the consumer. It is important to note that this is not an app created by Sirius XM, but rather a third party.

As you probably know Sirius has a lot of competition in the arena, including Pandora, Last.fm and AOL Music. And although online streaming has been a free perk to paying Sirius XM subscribers, reports indicate that the company plans to begin charging an additional $2.99 a month for the service. This of course will be an upgrade in sound quality.
