tomorrow's news FLYTUNES
Portable music players are everywhere these days. Coupled with the ease of obtaining music online, it's easy to carry your favorite songs with you wherever you go. FlyTunes looks to extend that musical freedom by offering a satellite radio-like experience for your iPod. Unlike that $200+ iPod, FlyTunes requires no money down, no payments and, well, no money at all.
FlyTunes is a Web-based service that is accessible to owners of an iPhone or an iPod Touch. It only requires a valid e-mail address for access. Then all that's left to do is open the FlyTunes browser using your iPhone or iPod Touch's WiFi connection.
Roy Smith, vice president of marketing for FlyTunes, says the service offers almost 500 channels right now with WiFi, with many of the channels accessible on the iPhone's EDGE network, as well.
Smith says FlyTunes is also developing a downloadable program that records Internet radio streams to import onto other portable music devices such as the iPod Classic and Nano, though no release date has been set.
For more information, or to sign up for the free service, visit the FlyTunes Web site at www.flytunes.fm.
