SelectRadio Offering 160 New Channels

The new version of SelectRadio software has recently been introduced providing customers with 160 more channels of Sirius and XM radio to enjoy while at home, in the office or on the go on their Windows Mobile powered devices. Users of the service will also be able to view 'what's playing' on any of the satellite radio channels.

Moreover, they are provided with the patent-pending HyperScan feature that, as its name leads you to believe, will allow a user to search for or skip artists according to their own personal tastes.

"Consumer interest in content for their mobile devices is accelerating and SelectRadio's advancement of making satellite radio available for cell phones is a solid step forward for both the consumer and the satellite radio companies. In fact, the variety of content being offered by SelectRadio will likely contribute to the expansion of appeal for this mobile audio content," said David Van Dyke, president, Bridge Ratings.

The new version of the SelectRadio software, version 3.5, is compatible with quite a few handhelds and PDAs, including Palm's Treo 700 series, the UTStarcom 6700, HP hw65/6900, HTC's Universal and Hermes as well as other devices running Windows Mobile Pocket PC or Phone Edition. For customers to be able to listen to their favorite radio stations, they'll need a GPRS/EDGE, EVDO or WiFi connection.

They will also be able to connect through the USB ActiveSync to their PC. The software is available with a price tag of $25 and customers that are already using licensed copies of a previous version of the software will not be able to upgrade to v3.5 with no charge.
