Android – Iphone – Applications

Sirius XM has just negotiated a new deal with Howard Stern that will keep the controversial shock jock on satellite radio through at least 2015. Among the provisions of the deal is a clause which will allow Stern to stream his show online and to mobile devices, including the iPhone. Sounds like your morning commute may have just gotten a lot raunchier.

When Stern signed his initial contract with Sirius in 2004, his show was truly exclusive and forbidden to be streaming to any terrestrial radio station, website or mobile device. That meant that even folks who downloaded the Sirius XM app and subscribed to the service couldn’t listen to Stern’s show because of the clauses in his contract. Now that restriction is being lifted and the host is clear to stream his show to a mobile audience.

What is unclear at this point is how soon Stern’s show will be made available to Sirius XM mobile listeners, as his current deal doesn’t technically expire until December 31. While the satellite radio service very well could make Stern’s show immediately available, it would also make sense to wait out the holiday season and launch the show alongside the new year. Either way we’ll have to wait and see.

An interesting consequence of this decision is that it in some way undermines Sirius XM’s own portable receivers, which previously did carry Stern’s show along with all other available channels. Now that Stern will be streaming to the iPhone, there’s very little incentive for consumers to pick up another receiver. Of course, Sirius XM still manages to keep the subscription fees either way, so it may not be too big a blow after all. In any event subscribers should be pleased, as now they have yet another way to enjoy their favorite foul-mouthed radio host and all his decidedly not politically correct antics.

I must admit that it has been a while since I have worked at an office, but I’m guessing that desktop phones are still being used.

This particular Phone x Phone iPhone charger and receiver brings back the days when the most advanced phones were on the desk, and not the hand. Having a constantly charged iPhone could come in handy, and could bring about a marriage of office numbers with mobile numbers.

You should be able to get it for about $25.

I remember playing Dungeon Hunter 2 at E3 at Gameloft‘s traveling booth, and I am surprised that it has only just been released.

Needless to say, the game allows multiplayer combat with Wi-Fi as well as Bluetooth or local wireless. You can also “fight tougher enemies, face even more challenging quests and combine the talents of your team members to become even deadlier”.

Interested? You probably should be. Go ahead and get to the iTunes Store and lay down $6.99.

With the release of Inception to DVD and Blu-ray, yet more Inception fever is on the way with this App.

For those who are hoping for some game that is essentially a version of the movie action, you might be disappointed. Apparently, the game is more Hans Zimmer as it includes augmented sound.

The purpose is to put a “soundtrack” on your life. If you are at rest, or in action, then the appropriate music will play.

I might have to try this out, being that the App is free.

Dead Rising is one of the most popular zombie-killing games out there, and it has just come to the iPhone 4, 3GS, and iPod Touch 3rd generation or better.

Capcom just launched Dead Rising 2 last September, and the mobile version has pretty much the same premise: kill a lot of undead guys with very unconventional weapons.

You should be able to get the App for about $4.99, for a limited time.
