The rumor of Sirius working with Apple to create an iPod with the ability to listen to digital satellite radio has been confirmed as a no go.
Steve Jobs, AppleÕs CEO, believes that iPod users are content with the ability to download thousands of songs. Jobs also stated that might change in the futures, especially if satellite radio has more interesting content to offer.
Sirius CEO Mel Karmazin then later stated, "Whether you put satellite radio in a cell phone, video game or MP3 player this could be an enhancement." Karmizain then backed up his statement by making reference to what Sony did with adding radio to its walkman cassette player.
Satellite radio is predicted to grow to approximately 35 million users by 2010.
