Sirius XM products will be based on AndroidBy Amy Gilroy

The next generation of Sirius XM Radio (NASDAQ:SIRI) products will be based on Google’s (NASDAQ:GOOG) Android platform and will be shown in concept form next week at Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, Spain.

The devices have the capability to permit apps from 3rd parties, but we don’t have a confirmation from Sirius XM that they will allow this.

Software company Teleca, announced it developed the Android OS for Sirius XM which integrates with Sirius XM IP addresses.

Sean Gibbons of Sirius XM said in the announcement that “Teleca is working with us to develop a complete platform strategy for delivering our unique and compelling programming to consumers.”

Andrew Till, Teleca’s CTO confirmed, “The Android platform will be utilized in Sirius XM’s next generation of offerings.”

That’s about all we know for now.
