Is there any way to uXM for iPhone to install and work on the storm? i downloaded the app and unzipped but i don't know what to do from there. any ideas? I think this is what we did with the youtube app until the released it recently for the storm.

Apps written for the iPhone platform will not work on a Storm platform. Ever wonder why Macs can't run everything that a PC can? Yeah, this is why...

if its written for a mac why would it work for a storm. thats like trying to put a ford intake on a chevy motor. wont work.

oranges equal oranges
grapes equal grapes
oranges not equal grapes
square peg will not fit into round hole
uX equal iphone
uXM not equal to storm

Wow.... thanks for the obvious replies, but if memory serves me when we got the youtube app before it was "officially" released it was the iphone version or maybe i'm mistaken and it was for the 9500? i dunno but if it was for the iphone why would i be so out of the box on this question?

iPhone apps are writting in objC where storm apps are wirtten in Java

Although if someone could create an app in java to run objC apps...hmm.

I've never coded anything in objC so I'm not sure if it's even possible

this. ^^^^^^

heh well why can't we code a program like uXM in java instead of having to do all this orb crap.... not a huge fan of having to add channels and change channels when the service changes (which i know isn't often, but still it happens) plus it would be nice to just an app that is available without having to use the browser.

I dunno, if you could do this, then potentially you could run any iPhone app on a Storm and that would be somethin' else.

You may or may not know that there is a dedicated XM radio app for BlackBerry. Unfortunately, when I called XM today to inquire they were clueless and only pointed me back to the site. I wanted to know if they give a discount if you already have another XM radio, they said no.
go to xmradio-dot-com and then navigate to /mobile/blackberry.xmc
Unfortunately, they only have a 24 hour demo.

Yeah, it wouldn't be a simple task at all. You would have to pretty much reinvent the wheel but I'm 90% sure it can be done. Someone correct me if I'm wrong. It would take so many man hours to create but in the end you know how many people would buy it if it supported iPhone apps.

[JosephRuff]

the quality of that app sucks....its low bandwidth and doesn't allow all the channels....plus i already spend 25bucks with all my xm subs, i don't want another 6.99 for garbage quality and little to no channels i listen to. heh. wish i could code in java.
