The company said the Mundu Radio client is available for more than 100 handsets based on J2ME, Symbian Series 60, Windows Mobile and Palm OS platforms. "We are honored that Mundu Radio has been selected as one of the top music applications out of the hundreds of submissions the MEA Committee received from over 12 countries," said Arvind Venkateswaran, Geodesic's senior vice president and general manager. "Mobile devices have become today's preferred mode of entertainment, and Mundu Radio successfully leverages this knowledge to provide consumers with seamless access to a range of entertainment channels, 24 hours a day, without the need to carry a separate device, or to be within the limited range of FM radio stations." Winners will be chosen by a panel of judges comprised of industry leaders from the mobile and digital entertainment industries and announced at the 2009 Mobile Excellence Awards in Los Angeles on Dec. 7.
