Woohoo! Maybe now my shares of Sirius-XM will actually gain a little on this news. But yeah! Apple FINALLY released the Sirius-XM iPhone app today and it comes with a few surprises that subscribers will gladly welcome. The big kahuna is that you can stream satellite radio over 3G, turning your iPhone into the ultimate portable radio. It also sports an easy-to-use killer interface. Want to try it out? There’s a 7-day trial going down right now. Hop on it.

UPDATE: No Stern, MLB or NFL. Big mistake.

The New York Times tends to be a pretty reputable news source. So when I read last night that XM-Sirius Satellite Radio is probably going to file for bankruptcy, I felt like absolute shit. Why? Because I recently bought some shares of the company hoping it’d recover by 2011. Apparently CEO Mel Karmazin just can’t get the company to turn a profit and the debt is piling up. Combined with pissed off shareholders like myself who are fuming over a botched EchoStar sale, XM-Sirius is probably going to go under in the next two years.

The company is preparing to file for Chapter 11 bankruptcy soon. R.I.P. XM-Sirius.

I don’t know what you did to piss Sirius Satellite Radio off. Maybe you forgot to pay your bill a month? Perhaps you told them to “piss off” when they offered you a hardware upgrade? Whatever you did, they just got us back real nicely.

Sirius is debuting ABBA Radio. God help us. At least it doesn’t launch until July 7th.
