After recently becoming a finalist at the BlackBerry Developer Conference, FlyCast’s mobile network is now ready to support the BlackBerry Curve, BlackBerry Bold and BlackBerry Storm smartphones.  The FlyCast network is the first specifically designed application to deliver radio, video and podcasts over mobile broadband and WiFi networks to mobile devices.  The software is positioned as a free alternative to satellite radio and was first launched in January 2008.

This version of FlyCast for BlackBerry works on BlackBerry Bold phones with OS version 4.6, on BlackBerry Curve phones with OS 4.5(Sprint, Verizon and other CDMA networks) and OS 4.3 (AT&T, T-Mobile and other 3G networks) and BlackBerry Storm phones with OS 4.7. If you need to upgrade your phone’s OS, please do so before installing and using the FlyCast application.

The FlyCast Mobile Broadcast Network includes over 1000 stations from top terrestrial and web broadcasters, including Entercom, Cox Radio, AccuRadio, 977 Music, 1.FM, 1Club and radioIO. The network provides unsurpassed quality of service and paradigm-shifting features, like StreamSlipTM, which allows users to continue to listen to a station even during extended periods without a connection; Top of the HourTM, which allows latecomers to listen from the beginning of news, talk and sports radio shows; SongSkipTM, which allows listeners to skip to the next song on certain webcast stations and pause on all stations. The BlackBerry smartphone version of FlyCast supports background play, allowing users to listen while they use their handset for other functions, and also supports playback through Bluetooth® stereo headsets.
