The Sirius XM SkyDock is a standalone satellite radio receiver with an iPod connector that turns your iPhone into a satellite radio receiver, its not the best looking piece of equipment—but it’s the only way to listen to space radio on your iPhone or iPod Touch, for now.
The bulky dock, which makes use of the iPhone OS 3.0′s new hardware support (remember that?), plugs into your car’s DC jack, which it depends on for power and support, and will run $120, not including the required subscription to Sirius XM radio. The companion app, which bears no resemblance to Sirius XM’s previous radio app, simply sets your iPhone up as a radio controller. Mercifully, it’s free.
Although I think satellite radio is awesome! I am not ever going to spend that much money on something that just plays music while I could just make a playlist of my favorite songs and plug in my iPhone to my car.
