MP3newswire is kicking off quite the rumour wave with a suggesiton that Apple's going to produce an iPod with a Sirius satellite radio receiver. Notes:

• Sirius is spending a lot of cash right now, having just picked up Howard Stern for half a billion dollars. It's theoretically possible that they're also spending a buttload of cash to persuade Apple to carry their stuff: clearly their current goal is to kill XM out back with an axe.
• I think the resulting product would be too damned big for this to be true.
• Typically, none of the USian commenters are bothering to pay attention to the fact that this thing would be nothing more than a doorstop outside continental North America. Apple doesn't, to the best of my knowledge, currently have any other products which simply don't operate abroad.

Initial take: nah.
