WASHINGTON-XM Satellite Radio last week quietly launched an application to bring its radio service to Windows-powered mobile phones.
The largest U.S. satellite radio provider launched Pocket XM Radio, which streams commercial-free XM content directly to Windows Mobile devices. The software sells for about $20 through distributors such as Handango and PocketGear.com, and eliminates the need to buy an XM receiver.
Fellow satellite radio provider Sirius offers a similar application that supports Pocket PCs but not devices running Microsoft Corp.’s Smartphone operating system.
