Maybe this comes as no surprise after Howard Stern’s recent praise of the Android platform, but the company in charge of broadcasting his show is working with Teleca to develop a stronger mobile presence via Android. The details are not yet known on how SiriusXM and Teleca plan to leverage the mobile OS, but options could be as varied as everything from applications to new hardware featuring an Android interface.
While it is probably less likely, the hardware side of things is perhaps most intriguing. Quite a few companies showed off in-dash units featuring Android at this year’s CES, though none quite hit the mark. The promise of such technology still leaves some hope, however.
