Grab Radio

App of the Week

Grab Radio — Mon, 23 Jan 2012 09:43:03 +0000

Grab Radio is voted app of the week yesterday in the Sunday Business Post!

“Radio-streaming apps are now a popular way to keep in touch with the wireless on the move. Some cost money, others are free! the main distinction of this one is that it’s Irish-made. It gives a large selection of radio stations to choose from and has a few nice extra features too” (Sunday Business Post 22 Jan 12)

Nokia Knockout!

Grab Radio — Mon, 29 Mar 2010 13:23:08 +0000

Another couple months in the bowels of the GIRT research and development labs and hey presto, another knock-out Grab Radio product. This time it’s a unique version of the Grab Radio application for Nokia smartphones such as the N8 and the X6.

The Grab Radio Hybrid is a similar to the great iPhone version but has a great trick up it’s sleeve. The Digital Analogue Hybrid (DAH) technology will allow you to tune into the FM broadcast as well as the internet radio stream. This means that if a radio station is putting out a radio stream which is not compatible with your phone you can always tune into the fm broadcast. When a station puts out song artist and show information you can still Grab Tag, or watch the YouTube video of the song. You can even check out the artists’ Facebook, Twitter or Myspace page. This also has the advantage of reducing your data uage and the associated costs when you’re on a cell phone network.

To say we’re excited about this is like saying the pope is into religion

We attended the fantastic Impact Media Elevate Awards last night. It was a great night and we met some really interesting people. Thanks to the judges and to everyone at Impact Media for putting on a great show.
