Stitcher announced the release of its on-demand audio application into BlackBerry’s App World. The new app is available free of charge for Curve 8300, 8310, 8320 and Bold 9000 from Research in Motion (RIM).
“We are excited to bring our product to BlackBerry users,” said Stitcher CEO and co-founder Noah Shanok. “Stitcher has proven to be a success on the iPhone, and we are thrilled with the opportunity to reach a new and broader audience.”
Stitcher’s long-awaited introduction into BlackBerry App World comes roughly nine months after the company released its iPhone app through Apple’s App Store. The iPhone application quickly rose to become one of the most popular apps in the news category and recently won the People’s Voice Webby Award in the Mobile News category. Last month, iPhone users listened to more than a million shows on Stitcher.
Stitcher streams on-demand news, audio shows and podcasts to mobile devices without syncing or wires. The company works with top media companies to provide well-rounded, up-to-date content. Stitcher’s wide selection of business and headline news is well-suited for the millions of busy BlackBerry users on the go.
"Stitcher allows people to make the most of their downtime by connecting listeners to the information they want to hear, when and where they want to hear it," said Shanok. “Stitcher’s app is also a great way to discover new shows and podcasts, and we are delighted to give BlackBerry user access to the vast range of unique audio content available.”
Stitcher plans to eventually support all BlackBerry series.
