MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif. -- AudioFeast today announced that their industry-first portable Internet radio service for MP3 players, mobile devices and PCs, is compatible with iriver's just-launched digital audio device, the H10 5GB* MP3 player. Seen as a direct competitor to the Apple iPod Mini, users of the H10 5GB player may access AudioFeast's growing list of Internet radio content and enjoy a vast library of music and entertainment programming.
AudioFeast is the first to market Internet radio service for portable digital audio players. The service presents the most popular Internet radio stations, nationally syndicated shows and an assortment of independent media outlets and programs from around the globe in a commercial-free radio format. With a rapidly growing list of over 400 music, news, sports and entertainment channels from more than 50 content partners, the AudioFeast service is a cost-effective way for consumers to gain easy access to music and entertainment without incurring the effort and expense of having to find, purchase and download each and every song or radio program.
"As a leader in the delivery of portable Internet radio to personal digital devices, AudioFeast is excited about iriver's new hard drive MP3 player," said AudioFeast CEO, Tom Carhart. "AudioFeast, coupled with iriver's new player, is enhancing the portable audio device experience, both by re-igniting the serendipity of radio for entertainment enthusiasts and by offering our service on powerful, state-of-the-art MP3 players."
AudioFeast previously announced in November 2004 a strategic collaboration with iriver to deliver compatibility with the company's iFP-700 series and iFP-800 series flash-based MP3 players.
"iriver is a global leader in the portable digital audio players market, and together with AudioFeast we're changing the way people enjoy listening to music and entertainment," said Jonathan Sasse, president of iriver America. "With access to AudioFeast's growing list of more than 400 radio channels, iriver consumers can enjoy hours and hours of their favorite Internet radio programs, shows and music, wherever they go."
iriver H10 5GB users can utilize the player's intuitive user experience, color display and touch strip control to download the AudioFeast firmware (www.audiofeast.com/iriver) and benefit from an aggregate of programming from more than 50 AudioFeast content partners. Accessible via a variety of subscription plans starting at $2.99 per month, AudioFeast customers receive hours of music and entertainment content each time they sync their MP3 player. AudioFeast content is constantly refreshed on a weekly, daily or hourly basis, depending on the show, so it's always ready to listen to anytime, anywhere.
