«Users of virtually all current Windows Mobile phones and PDAs not only can explore music across more than 5,000 internet radio, terrestrial radio, Sirius Internet Radio and XM Radio channels, but they can now easily move from the excitement of music discovery to the satisfaction of purchase with anywhere access.

Users can see available song purchase options, listen to samples from the artist, and purchase directly from their smartphone.

SelectRadio software uses the Windows Mobile device network connection to provide audio access on the go, in the office, or at home. For easy access to popular broadcasters, SelectRadio software includes pre-set channels from top broadcasters, such as Internet radio pioneer radioio (symbol:iwdm.pk), AccuRadio; Sirius Internet Radio (Nasdaq:SIRI); XM Radio Online (Nasdaq:XMSR); and Shoutcast. Users can combine favorite channels and podcasts into custom groups for easy access and create a “virtual dashboard” showing what’s playing across multiple channels, with one-click access. With its patent-pending HyperScan™ technology, SelectRadio software automatically seeks favorite artists and can be set to skip specified artists.

SelectRadio software is now compatible with all popular Windows Mobile 5 and Windows Mobile 6 devices including smartphone models such as the Samsung Blackjack, HTC Excalibur, Motorola Q and touchscreen models such as the UTStarcom 6800 and Treo 700/750 series. SelectRadio software requires a network connection via either the handheld wireless carrier or WiFi connection. SelectRadio software is priced at $25 for a device-specific license. Customers using licensed copies of SelectRadio v3.x can upgrade the same device to the new v4.0 for free. A free 10-day fully functional trial is available for evaluation prior to purchase at www.selectradio.com.»
