Internet Car Radio From Blaupunkt and miRoamer

Blaupunkt and miRoamer launched the world’s first in-dash internet
car radio at the CES held earlier this month. Blaupunkt provides the
hardware for this exciting idea which frankly in our opinion should have
happened earlier. The internet sets you free and now you’re free
to access internet radio in all its limitless glory while driving on
Route 66, the Grand Trunk road, the Silk Route, or up Kensington High
Street.

You can access endless music channels, news, talk stations, AM/FM, etc
from all around the world. As of now internet connectivity is through an
external device such as 3G/HSDPA/HSPA devices via Bluetooth. When
connecting to the internet via an external device the existing mobile
service provider serves as the default network. Later models will come
with an in-built modem. Bluetooth connectivity means you can access the
phone, your address book, and navigation device.

The two prototype models named the New Jersey 600i and the Hamburg 600i
will connect the car owner to miRoamer stations numbering in tens of
thousands.

You can create a profile and then add playlists on miRoamer.com, these
can be accessed while on the road. This saves time as you can directly
access stations instead of having to search for them via the device.
