Tune in to 50,000 Radio Stations on Your Blackberry With WunderRadio
SAN FRANCISCO, CA, Oct 20, 2009 (MARKETWIRE via COMTEX) --
BlackBerry Curve and Bold users will now be able to listen to over
50,000 global live Internet radio streams on WunderRadio. The regular
price of the application will be $9.99 but users will be able to
download a free trial version for 10 days. Instructions on how to
download the application are available at www.wunderradio.com.
Versions for the BlackBerry Tour and Storm will be available soon.
Awarded the title of Best iPhone Radio Application (terrestrial
division) at this year's MacWorld Expo and dubbed the "Best radio hub
around" by Rolling Stone magazine, WunderRadio has already been
downloaded by over 250,000 iPhone users who use it to listen to AM/FM
and Internet radio stations from across the world. It is currently
the number one paid radio application for Windows Mobile on Handango.
BlackBerry owners can now browse the enormous directory provided by
RadioTime to find radio stations that meet their needs and tastes,
searching by location and over 400 different genres such as music,
talk, sports, and entertainment. Users can save presets for faster
tuning to their favorite stations and use the RadioTime Guide to
automatically detect what is airing on their local stations, browse
by affiliates like the BBC, Bloomberg or Sirius and search for
specific programs or on-air personalities.
"With WunderRadio, BlackBerry users can utilize the built-in Twitter
directory to connect with an on-air DJ, while streaming their
favorite station in the background, and never miss an e-mail. It's
radio BlackBerry-style," said Josh Carroll, President of Jeyo, the
developer of the BlackBerry version of the software.
WunderRadio for BlackBerry allows users to listen to radio in the
background while using other applications on the phone and elegantly
handles incoming calls. It also provides playback of more media types
including global broadcasts and podcasts -- even connecting
WunderRadio to your Bluetooth speaker system or headset.
"With the addition of the BlackBerry version, WunderRadio is truly
becoming the new standard for listening to radio on mobile devices,"
said Alan Steremberg, President of Weather Underground, the
developers of the original application.
Bill Moore, CEO, RadioTime, explains: "WunderRadio leverages the
RadioTime Guide to provide a wider selection of stations than any
other tuner available for BlackBerry. Everything that made
WunderRadio for the iPhone and Windows Mobile so popular is available
for BlackBerry: the most comprehensive worldwide channel list, a wide
range of audio formats, reliable listening and integration with your
device."
