iPad Pre-Launch Preview: See BuzzVoice on Apple’s iPad Now

BuzzVoice on The iPadThe iPad press frenzy is heating up as the new device’s upcoming ship date draws nearer.

This week, as we were putting the finishing touches on the first version of BuzzVoice for iPad, we captured some unpolished video to give you a glimpse of what’s coming.

If you’re familiar with our iPhone App [iTunes link], you’ll notice the iPad version includes the same rich functionality. Plus, exclusively for the iPad, we’ve added a powerful new “Playlist Management” feature that lets you browse our curated list of over 1,500 sources to discover new content to add to your BuzzVoice playlist.

Checkout the brief demo of BuzzVoice for iPad below and let us know what you think [email iPad@BuzzVoice.com ]. With a little luck on our part, you’ll see BuzzVoice in the grand opening of The iPad App Store when you unbox your new “Jesus tablet.” Once we get our hands on an actual iPad, we’ll roll out more features that take advantage of the iPad’s unique platform.

Of course, you don’t have to have an iPad to use BuzzVoice – You can Get BuzzVoice on The App Store now for your iPhone or iPod touch, or sign up on your computer on the BuzzVoice full site to use it on a regular iPod, or any MP3 player.

BuzzVoice Announces Real-Time Audio Platform For Publishers [Private Beta Launch]

Email Publishers@BuzzVoice.comNew Service Lets Bloggers and News Sites Offer Streaming Audio of Their Text Content To Engage Multitaskers On Their Sites & On The Social Web

Austin, TX,  March 15, 2010 – BuzzVoice today announced that it has entered private beta with bloggers and news sites for its new “Real-time Radio” service. By installing a simple widget on their sites, publishers can leverage the BuzzVoice platform to instantly offer a streaming audio channel of breaking text stories to their audiences.

Through the voice-powered widget, visitors can listen to continuous stories while multitasking on the publisher’s site, post the widget to Facebook, Twitter, MySpace and other social sites, or listen on the go on iPhones, iPods, iPads, MP3 players and other mobile devices.

A team of social media and news industry advisors including Chris Brogan, Jason Falls, James Jackson of Enquirer Media/Gannett and others helped shape the new service, which helps publishers increase engagement while promoting their content on the social web.

According to Falls, the new service “allows your blog or news site to become a streaming radio station, of sorts. My community can now stream my content live, subscribe to it in iTunes, access it via the BuzzVoice iPhone app and even grab my widget to share on other sites.”

BuzzVoice CEO John Atkinson states, “We’re excited to give bloggers and publishers a new way to distribute their content and expand their presence on the social web. In addition to reaching busy consumers, our Real-time Radio service also allows publishers to make their content accessible to the visually impaired and people with dyslexia and other learning difficulties.”

*To request a private beta invitation and enter to win a free iPad, email your site’s URL to: Publishers@BuzzVoice.com

*See It Live: BuzzVoice will be demonstrating the new service at the South by Southwest Conference in Austin this week. To schedule a demo, email Press@BuzzVoice.com
