Nokia Internet Radio officially announced

Guess many of the Nokia (NYSE: NOK) smartphone owners already know about Nokia Internet Radio application/service. Well, it’s now officially announced and free to download from Nokia’s website, with new Nokia phones to come with the application already pre-installed on the device.

Nokia Internet Radio gives users access to hundreds of Internet radio stations to choose from, and an easy way to “find your tune” thanks to the station directory. Browsing can be done based on station name, genre, country or language; and once you find the station you like, you can add it to your favorites. In addition, Nokia is saying the audio quality is enhanced by selecting appropriate streaming servers that match the speed of the current network connection.

NOTE: Apparently, not all devices are supported initially. According to the Finish giant, current version will work on N82, N91, N95 and N95 8GB models, with other phones to also get supported in the near future.
