Motorola unveils iRadio
Motorola has revealed details of its plans for iRadio, a subscription music service that will go on sale this year, writes Yahoo News.
The iRadio service will first run on the Rokr E2 cell phone, which, unlike the first Rokr phone, will not include the iTunes music software. Motorola aims to sell the service and phone via mobile operators.
Motorola said in October its first cell phone for iRadio would be able to hold about 70 hours of music. The iRadio service, will include 435 commercial-free radio channels, including genres such as Heavy Metal, Rockin' Cowboys and Angry Women. Its satellite rivals also provide specialized music channels, often without ads.
iRadio will let users download channels on the computer and transfer them to play on their phones or on car or home stereos, like satellite radio.
The iRadio service will cost about $7 a month but the price may vary depending on which wireless phone service the subscriber uses.
