Nareos' PeerBox client, available in Java and S60, enables users to access open P2P networks from their mobiles, instantly search and download music, videos and pictures, record a song or any part of it, or listen to millions of songs licensed from labels.

PeerBox allows searching for video, pictures and music files in open P2P networks, downloading the files onto the phone and sharing the files with other users. PeerBox also allows downloading premium content from Nareos servers. PeerBox is integrated with 3rd party Robust Audio Hashing (fingerprinting) technology to recognize copyrighted content and collect payments for it.

The service features on-the-air recognition which enables users to hold the phone to any source of music anywhere, anytime, and have the music recognized for them. For example, you are at a noisy bar, and you suddenly hear that song that you heard before and really love but have no idea about who is singing and what the song's name is. Grab your phone, open PeerBox, push the Identify icon and then Record. Hold the phone to the music for 15 seconds, and then select Identify from the menu. In a snap, the song information will appear on the screen. Now you can purchase the song and enjoy it on your mobile.
