It took a free iPhone app called Music Dock to finally deliver what the Sirius XM offering has failed to accomplish since it first launched. Although MusicDock requires a Premium Online Subscription to either SIRIUS or XM, it's designed to instantly deliver 120 channels of pure goodness plus Howard Stern through their mobile app or using the online application.
I gave Music Dock a proper test drive on both my iPhone 4 and iPad and it worked like a charm over 3G or using Wi-Fi. The ability to add channel favorites and run the application in the background on iOS 4 makes this satellite radio app a full throttle thrill ride right out of the gate.
There's no account setup required. Simply use your existing satellite Radio Online login and it's go time. I suggest snatching up this little gem before the app police find a reason to take it away.
Big ups to the App Impulse team for this epic beauty. Did I mention it's free?
You can listen to Stern with Wunderradio, they best radio app out there.

WOW! No offense to the other sat-apps but this one seems to do what the others won't or can't do: 1) add the howard channels and 2) use a uniform GUI that's easy to navigate, 3) offer it at the great price of free. Though they'll probably have to keep the price at free in order to circumvent any hangups or problems from Sirius. (but so far, it's an app for which i'd happily donate).

Best of Sirius channels, not working for XM with best of. They should be able to fix it.

Howard is working for Sirius subscribers. Will try XM with Best of to confirm.

Neither Howard 100 or Howard 101 is currently working on this app. I am a XM subscriber with the best of Sirius package and have Premium online.
