FlyTunes, this morning, has informed us that they have released a new press release stating that the application has received a new UI upgrade, video compatibility, and now has over 350 channels in total!
Here’s the first bit of the press release:
LANCASTER, PA – May 15, 2008 – FlyTunes Inc. today announced several major
changes to its mobile content network, popularized on the iPhone and iPod Touch.
Beginning today, FlyTunes is adding video and audio podcasts, a new user
interface, and a customizable channel guide. As the first content network
specifically focused on mobile devices, the FlyTunes network has experienced
explosive user growth since its launch in January at CES.With over 200 new channels available immediately, the new video and audio
channels cover a wide range of topics, including news, entertainment, politics, kids
& family, health, comedy, business and technology. With today’s additions, FlyTunes
now offers users over 350 channels of music, talk, video and podcast entertainment
choices, far more than fee-based satellite radio services.To ease users’ ability to find the content they want from its ever-increasing channel
options, FlyTunes is also releasing a new, streamlined user interface that lets users
quickly find and select desired channels from two simple dialog boxes. Each
selected channel now displays more detailed information, including an SMS text
message link to allow users to send friends a direct link to listen in. The new
MyGuide feature allows users to personalize their mobile media experience by
enabling or disabling individual channels and even entire genres from the selection
menu.…

Keep up the phenomenal work, guys and gals!

The only problem with Flytunes is the one thing they can do nothing about it.
It absolutely EATS your battery.
Awesome service though. I occasionally fire it up and listen for a while. Very cool idea.
So if anyone from Flytunes is reading this, kudos!

Just a quick update: FlyTunes submitted a native application to Apple & it should be in the app store when it opens. Better service, but we’re still FREE!
