Hands on with Nokia’s new Internet Radio application
By ASAD | December 10, 2007
Earlier this week, Nokia announced its Nokia Internet Radio application, which lets you stream online radio stations to your handset, over 3G, Wi-Fi or even GPRS. Since it’s on show at the Nokia World exhibition for the first time, I took the chance to have a go, and put some questions to Saket Gupta, program manager in Nokia’s Nseries Hear New team.
Personal impressions first: the app is very slick to use, and it’s certainly easy to search for available streams, and quick to fire them up. They’re a strange mix though: some purely online stations, and some niche local stations, but not many big names in the UK at least. Where are the big guns?
"We only include broadcasters in our directory that have agreed to be included, by signing up on our website," says Gupta. "It’s a simple process, but we can’t include them if they don’t sign up."
