BuzzVoice Will Run On Apple’s New iPad Tablet

The iPad featuring BuzzVoiceListen with BuzzVoiceAt the Apple Event in San Francisco, Steve Jobs unveiled the company’s long-awaited tablet named “The iPad.”

The 9.7 inch multi-touch device offers Wi-Fi and 3G connectivity, weighs in at just 1.5 pounds, and sports a full 10 hour battery life.

And since the iPad runs the iPhone operating system, it will offer functionality similar to the iPhone and iPod touch, including the ability to run “most” apps from Apple’s App Store. 

When the iPad goes on sale in March- at a surprisingly low price of $499 - BuzzVoice will run on the revolutionary new device, allowing you to stream audio versions of breaking stories from the web’s top 1,400+ blogs and news sites.

Lastly, for development on The iPad, Apple announced the availability of a new software development kit that will allow us to optimize BuzzVoice for The iPad. Stay tuned for more exciting features!

Pandora To Bypass ‘Jesus Phone’ In Cars?

Pandora on iPhoneWhether you use the BuzzVoice iPhone app, or our full site to listen to your news & blogs, chances are likely that you are a fan of other streaming audio applications. Therefore, it’s likely that you may be one of the 38 million people using the popular Pandora Radio service on your smartphone , or your computer.

If this is the case, you might be excited to hear that Pandora might be a built-in option on your next car.

Last night, while listening to GigaOM on BuzzVoice, I heard a story titled, “Pandora is Coming to Your Car.”  (Coincidentally, I was streaming BuzzVoice in my car when I heard it). The story outlines how, like BuzzVoice, many Pandora users are using the service in their cars, by plugging their smartphones into their car stereos, and how Pandora plans to integrate it’s service directly into cars to improve the overall user experience.

Be sure to check out the full story on GigaOM to learn about Pandora’s strategy to first integrate their smartphone apps into dash controls, and then to ditch the smartphone and embed the service right into Internet-connected cars.

It’s interesting to see how services that started out as “applications” are expanding their distribution strategies to reach consumers through other channels.

Who knows, perhaps some day you’ll be able to get “BuzzVoice embedded into your Beamer?”

MacWorld Gives BuzzVoice iPhone App 4 Stars, “A Productivity Enhancer”

Listen with BuzzVoiceMacworldReview2PicRound

 

MacWorld, a leading source on all things Apple and iPhone, recently reviewed the new BuzzVoice iPhone app. And, we’re very pleased with their 4-Star rating.

The following are a few excerpts from MacWorld’s review:

“BuzzVoice is a time saver and a productivity enhancer that lets you create playlists of news and blogs to listen to while on the go… The new news service launched in September, and it’s on sale for 2 dollars as of this writing.

The name isn’t the only big change. BuzzVoice gives you more options. You can now choose from among more than 1,400 news sites and weblogs. You can view any story’s original text, along with images and video. More important, BuzzVoice increased the number of feeds you can stream from 10 to 50.

And what was the app’s most appealing feature before, is now even more appealing: A personalized daily podcast, which once rounded up your 10 favorite news feeds in a short 10-minute newscast, now comes in an expanded 30-minute version with a monthly paid subscription to BuzzVoice’s “Pro” service. (Another benefit of going “Pro”: You can choose the sex of the robot voice that reads your news.)

A new “BuzzRadio” tab lets you stream news more or less continuously. Or, you can also browse your feeds and listen to stories one at a time.  These new features and improvements are arguably worth the $4 monthly subscription price.”

We’d like to thank MacWorld writer Ben Boychuk for reviewing the new BuzzVoice iPhone app.

Please be sure to check out the full review on MacWorld’s website.

And, be sure to get BuzzVoice on The App Store to keep up with your favorite topics on the go, while increasing your productivity.
