iPod to Podcast Sirius Satellite Radio Content?

Kelly McNeill writes "The last time Apple and Sirius met up to discuss the possibilities of integrating satellite radio into the iPod, Steve Jobs turned down the offer. However, new reports show that the two companies are talking again. Kelly McNeill submitted the following editorial to osOpinion/osViews, which suggests the partnership is not to integrate satellite into the iPod but rather to make Sirius's original content for the future version of iTunes that will sport new podcasting capabilities."

The one yesterday was about a Sirius receiver in the iPod...this is about PodCasting the Sirius content following its airing. Pathetic is a big word not to be used lightly.

timeshifting!

now you can even timeshift slashdot articles. if you didn't have a chance to catch the original, no need to worry!

Makes sense

This makes sense, after all, Apple wants you to be able to listen to your iPod wherever you are, including subways, trains, planes, moms' basements, etc, where I don't think Sirius goes.
They also want people to keep going on the music store homepage, where podcasts will probably be.

Is Sirius available out of the US right now? (genuine question)

If not, then this would give them the opportunity to go worldwide...
