Reciva has announced the launch of three new applications which are associated with internet radio. The three applications, namely Reciva iRadio, Radiostar and Grace Digital Radio have distinct features and promise to deliver variations in conventional broadcasts like FM, AM to digital radio stations on DAB, HD and Internet.
The iRadio application is generated by the Reciva Connect Plus web services, and by those means is future-proofed for feature updates. The Reciva Connect Plus (RCP) is available to those wanting to create Internet Radio based applications, widgets or fresh services for internet-based devices, right from gaming consoles to Wi-Fi TVs and Set Top boxes. The RCP can be integrated onto any mobile OS like Android, Windows Mobile, Web OS, Symbian, RIM and the iPhone. It gives consumers 20,000+ Radio Stations, 30,000 On-Demand streams, 50,000 Podcasts and website templates to control one’s online account as well as partner services which include AARP, Aupeo!, BBC iPlayer Radio, BlogTalkRadio, CBS Radio, Clear Channel, Live365, Mediafly, MP3Tunes, NPR, Pandora, Podcast.com, Rhapsody and SIRIUS XM Radio.
While speaking of Reciva iRadio application Matt Shortt, Marketing Director at Reciva said, “It’s a fantastic achievement for a traditionally hardware based company to create such a pioneering software application for the world’s most popular mobile phone. I look forward to seeing Internet Radio apps using Reciva Connect Plus appearing on other mobile platforms in near future. We believe RCP offers many more opportunities for our customers and showcases the true power of our platform, it’s a real game-changer for the Internet Radio industry. Reciva are now in the unique position of being able to offer CE Brands and OEMs just one supplier to create end-to-end, net radio connected devices, whether that is through our world class hardware solutions Barracuda and Stingray or our industry leading web API – Reciva Connect Plus”.
The Reciva iRadio application can be used solely with one’s iPhone and at the same time can also be used with the user’s Reciva web account and Reciva-based Internet Radios. This element lets the user add the My Stuff menu which includes My Stations, My Podcasts and My streams to the application for free. This application has been devised in collaboration with a third party iPhone applications developer. This application can be downloaded from tinyurl.com/recivairadio.
