World’s First Internet Car Radio

In June 2008 miRoamer introduced its media platform for accessing Internet radio stations on portable music players, mobile phones, MP3 players and home theater systems.

This week at CES, miRoamer announced a partnership with Blaupunkt to introduce “the world’s first Internet car radio,” providing access to a diverse selection of Internet radio content through car stereos.  Drivers with new Blaupunkt stereos can now tune in to miRoamer’s tens of thousands of radio stations from around the world.
