ZURICH-NINJ Ltd. launched its VirtualRadio software that can be installed on mobile phones to allow users to receive radio via a data stream.
Users can tune into radio stations outside of their area by choosing from a selection of pre-defined stations. The service runs on all Nokia smart phones as well as other devices running Symbian OS.
“Radio is an important step toward making the multimedia mobile service dream a reality and turning the mobile phone into a multi-functioning device receiving and sending high data,” said Juerg Ingold, head of marketing at NINJ. “Radio stations are able to tap into a new and worldwide public and network operators have an excellent point in selling their new 3G services to their subscribers.”
The company cautions users on its Web site to ensure they have an unlimited or flat rate data plan to avoid expensive downloads.
