Samsung and XM hop into bed with sat radio DAPs

Samsung + XM

Well, well, then. So XM and Samsung announced a partnership to co-develop digital audio players that will be XM satellite radio enabled. The icing in the cake here comes in the form of XM's $25M investment in WorldSpace last week, which secures them satellite radio access in a few new places you might have heard of: Africa, Asia, Europe, etc. In other words, all the other markets that Samsung would really like to sell devices outside the States. Man, did Apple ever miss the boat on this one—think Jobs is on the phone with Karmazin right rocking it supplicant style?
