An interesting rumor, and one we’ve heard before. Back in 2004 word on the street had it that Apple had cut a deal with Sirius to offer an iPod with a built-in satellite radio receiver. But it hadn’t. And according to Sirius CEO Mel Karmazin, it probably never would, because the feeling at Apple was that “they don’t need to put a satellite radio in their box.”

Has Apple reconsidered its position in the ensuing years? It’s certainly possible. Remember Jobs once said “people don’t want to watch video on their iPod” too.
