    Anyone heard anything about XM Radio app for OS 6 phones? It is available for earlier OS but nothing for OS 6.

    This was one reason I'm leaving BB, not the main reason by any means, but I can't wait to leave BB for another platform on October 6th that supports Sirius and XM.

    Short answer, if it's not out for OS6 already, it isn't coming out. OS6 is a dead platform to RIM. They are focusing on OS7 and QNX and therefore, developers won't touch OS6 for third party apps.

    12-18 months ago, smart phones weren't about apps, they were about making core functionality work most efficiently, so it didn't matter. Now, more than ever, a healthy app eco system is key to a smartphone, and RIM is falling flat on it's face. I love my BB, but I hate the fact it can't do some of the awesome things that Droid can do. I would love to be able to remote start my 2011 Acadia, set my Comcast DVR or listen to XM while I'm at work...

    You can set your Comcast DVR and view listings, etc., now. Comcast released their Blackberry app a few weeks ago. Works great. They are working on another app that will allow you to stream TV. Unfortunately, still no Sirius/XM app for OS6, but that is Sirius/XM's fault, not RIM's. I think they are just being lazy. Every other music service has an OS6 app- it can't be that hard. Contact Sirius/XM and complain. Maybe if they get enough complaints, they'll do something, but I'm not holding my breath.
