Scion today announced the Scion Radio 17 Beats Per Minute (BPM) Meter application for iPhone and iPod touch is available on the Apple (NSDQ: AAPL) App Store. The app, developed by EpicTilt.com, automatically calculates the BPM of a song as users tap the screen to the song’s rhythm. After recording the song’s BPM, users can create playlists by genre and send their song lists with corresponding BPM info to themselves and others for use in the planning of live sets and recorded mixes.
“Scion is always looking for ways to keep its customers engaged with the brand so we created the ‘Scion Radio 17 BPM Meter’ with unique create-and-share playlist abilities to appeal to our trendsetting and tech savvy audience of iPhone and iPod touch users,” said Jeri Yoshizu, Scion sales promotions manager. “Additionally, given the fact that Scion has always worked with DJs and respected their culture, we wanted to give our audience a useful tool for their craft.”
The Scion Radio 17 BPM Meter also provides a scrolling news ticker that keeps users up-to-date with the current month’s Scion Radio 17 features, as well as information about the latest Scion Audio Visual (S A/V) releases and events. The Scion Radio 17 BPM App is available for free from Apple’s App Store on iPhone and iPod touch. It’s a nice little App too, as hopefully the screenshots show – I’d recommend giving it a go!
Oh, and in case the name Scion seems very familiar – well, it is – it’s a Toyota model in the US:

Ben is a 10+ year veteran of the Mobile industry – starting his career when SMS was a still a relatively new concept for most people (!), he has now consulted on everything from bleeding-edge Mobile content, to the next-gen accessories you might view it on. As a result he has a broad and deep knowledge in numerous areas of Mobile – from network operators to device vendors, to infrastructure and middleware vendors (not to mention content delivery) – and has worked for companies in all of these areas! He is based in the UK, a hotbed of activity for mobile, and recently became a father for the second time – as oppose to in his younger years when he was happy spend time tweaking all manner of mobile devices to 'nth' degree, he now looks for services and hardware that provide the most efficient, compact, and reliable improvements to his already manic life! It’s his opinion that Mobile solutions should be there to help to make your life better – if a particular solution (be it service or device) isn’t doing this, he believes you need to ask the very important question of why you continue to use it... His focus at IntoMobile is mainly on Mobile content, services, and infrastructure, particularly as regards the UK market – and with the occasional look at devices. Additionally, using his extensive experience in the industry, he will provide commentary on the industry at large, with regular (and hopefully thought-provoking) articles.
