Apple Not Serious About Sirius

Sirius is refusing to confirm reports that Apple CEO Steve Jobs has taken a fancy to the idea of partnering with the satellite radio provider. On Thursday, reports circulated around the Web claiming Mel Karmazin, Sirius chief executive officer, had discussions with Jobs during the D conference in California.

However, Sirius has told BetaNews that Jobs has not expressed any concrete interest thus far.

Apparently this is not the first time Karmazin has attempted to entice Jobs with the idea of pairing satellite radio with Apple’s iPod portable music player. In February, MarketWatch published a report stating that Karmazin approached Apple for discussions, but was met with the same result.
