Apple rebuffs Sirius on satellite radio iPod
Remember all those crazy rumors from a couple of months ago that
Apple and Sirius were teaming up on some sort of iPod with a built-in satellite radio receiver? Seemed a little dubious at the time (simply cramming a Sirius chipset into an iPod in the first place would be the opposite of easy), but now we know why everyone was gossiping in the first place.
Sirius prez Mel Karmazin admitted during a talk at a media conference yesterday that he had approached Steve Jobs about adding Sirius to the iPod and found no love. In Mel's words: the "current thinking" at Apple is that "they don't need to put satellite radio in their box."
