Over 350 content channels now available on iPhone and iPod Touch
LANCASTER, Pa., May 15 -- FlyTunes Inc. today announced
several major changes to its mobile content network, popularized on the
iPhone and iPod Touch. Beginning today, FlyTunes is adding video and audio
podcasts, a new user interface, and a customizable channel guide. As the
first content network specifically focused on mobile devices, the FlyTunes
network has experienced explosive user growth since its launch in January
at CES.
With over 200 new channels available immediately, the new video and
audio channels cover a wide range of topics, including news, entertainment,
politics, kids & family, health, comedy, business and technology. With
today's additions, FlyTunes now offers users over 350 channels of music,
talk, video and podcast entertainment choices, far more than fee-based
satellite radio services.
To ease users' ability to find the content they want from its
ever-increasing channel options, FlyTunes is also releasing a new,
streamlined user interface that lets users quickly find and select desired
channels from two simple dialog boxes. Each selected channel now displays
more detailed information, including an SMS text message link to allow
users to send friends a direct link to listen in. The new MyGuide feature
allows users to personalize their mobile media experience by enabling or
disabling individual channels and even entire genres from the selection
menu.
"The mobile Internet is a completely new paradigm for content and ad
delivery, very different from traditional broadcast radio and TV," said
FlyTunes CEO Sam Abadir. "FlyTunes offers an unmatched variety of media
that our customers can personalize to match their tastes and enjoy anywhere
they go on the device that they already own."
The new channels, user interface and guide editor are available
immediately to all FlyTunes users. FlyTunes is available at no charge --
new users can sign up at http://www.FlyTunes.fm.
