Mercora, the online music provider based in California, launched M v2 , an application announced to be "The First Social Music Player and Radio Service" for mobile devices.
What does this mean? It means that if you're a mobile device user, you'll be able to access more than 100,000 high-fidelity music channels or stream music from your PC or from Mercora's servers. But the trickiest thing about M
v2 is that it lets you use your mobile to listen and browse entire playlists from up to five of your friends and family, regardless of how far they are from you. In other words, if your cousin Joanne is in Sidney, Australia, and you're „a bit" on the other side of the planet, let's say in Boston, you can listen to exactly the same songs she's listening, at the same time. And that is something, eh?
Another useful feature of M v2 is that it can provide users with instant access to news and information from well known podcasts from NCAA, CNN, MLB or NPR.
In order to use the service you have to install the Mercora software on a PC with Windows as Operating System. Also, your mobile device needs to run Windows Mobile 5.0.
Mercora M v2 is available for Windows Mobile users anywhere around the world at the price of $4.99 per month. Subscription packages are also available; a consumer must pay $14.99 for three months or $49.99 for a full year subscription.
The president and CEO of Mercora, Srivats Sampath, declared: "Mobile convergence is a reality - the mobile phone is rapidly becoming the MP3 player, radio and media consumption device of choice. The M v2 transforms the standard mobile phone into a social music and radio player with music features far more sophisticated than what's available on current mobile offerings or, for that matter, Apple's upcoming phone and music device."
Note that Mercora M v2 is designed to work on a large number of Windows Mobile-certified Smartphones and Pocket PCs: Motorola Q, i-mate JAQ, T-Mobile Dash, Palm Treo 750, Verizon Wireless PN-820 or Samsung BlackJack. And, of course, M v2 works as well on 3G (and higher) mobile broadband networks, like Wi-Fi, WiMax, EDGE, HSDPA, EV-DO and UMTS.
