Cingular is jumping into satellite radio with a new $8.99/month package that gives you 25 commercial-free XM channels to listen to on your cell phone. This roughly matches a deal that Sprint has been offering for quite some time: 20 channels of SIRIUS radio for $6.95/month.

Unlike video, which takes a decent amount of technological horsepower, streamed radio is something many current phones can tune into. Of course, it always pays to check your carrier to see if your phone and plan are compatible.
