When introducing the Satellite Radio 2.0 concept, <span scaytid=\"12\" scayt_word=\"Mel\">Mel<\/span> <span scaytid=\"15\" scayt_word=\"Karmazin\">Karmazin<\/span> stated:<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-left: 40px;\">Our next generation of satellite radios are expected to offer  significantly more choices for the consumer and contain functionality  that does not exist today in our radios.<\/p>\n<p>The only remaining question is when can I get one (in time for the holidays?) and will the Sirius iPhone <span scaytid=\"16\" scayt_word=\"app\">app<\/span>  have access to all these features as well? Also, doesn&#8217;t the next  logical step need to be integration with video?
