XM Canada extends service to iPad; Android to follow


TORONTO – XM Canada’s on-line, mobile and Internet service is now compatible with the Apple iPad, and an application for Android will be available later this summer, the audio entertainment company said Wednesday.

XM online+ gives listeners the ability to tune in via an on-line player for the desktop and applications for mobile devices including iPhone, iPod touch, and Blackberry.  Available for free at the iTunes App store, users can sign up for a free 14-day trial of XM online+ once the app is downloaded.

“One XM online+ subscription lets you take XM anywhere," said Janet Gillespie, VP of marketing, in the announcement. "It delivers your favourite audio entertainment on a variety of mobile devices; so you can have access wherever you go. And with reports of iPad sales already surpassing the three million mark globally, we’re pleased to extend our service to Apple fans here in Canada."

XM online+ is available for $7.99 a month or $2.99 a month when bundled with an XM Canada subscription.
