Jim Lynch: Off the Top of My Head…

Hmmm…I don’t know if I’d use it but somehow I like the idea of being able to listen to satellite radio on my iPod.

Mel Karmazin, the new CEO of Sirius Satellite Radio, said he’s talked recently with Apple Computer about adding satellite radio to its popular iPod music player.

“I’ve spoken to (Apple CEO) Steve Jobs,” said Karmazin, speaking Wednesday morning at a media conference in New York. He declined to elaborate, other than to say that the “current thinking” at Apple (up $0.40 to $81.30, Research) is that “they don’t need to put a satellite radio in their box.”

An Apple spokesman did not immediately have a comment.

I guess Jobs isn’t interested though. Probably doesn’t want the radio to cut in on Apple’s iTunes revenue. Can’t say I blame him, they must be raking in some great money off of it! :shock:
