MVNO Cool Mobile To Offer iRadio Via Prepaid Handsets
Motorola iRadio will officially get some distribution with its first MVNO, Cool Mobile (I'm not sure if this is the same MVNO that signed with iRadio earlier). Sort-of-officially, anyway. It's always a little difficult to tell when quotes like these appear in the same article:
"[Cool Mobile is] collaborating with Motorola to offer the handset developer's iRadio service—something that would be exclusive to Cool in the prepaid market..."
"A Motorola official said the company does not have an official iRadio contract with Cool."
In any case...Cool Mobile plans to expand its Cool.Prepaid handset lineup to include six Motorola devices, and will incorporate iRadio...though no timeframe is offered (of course). iRadio users will stream up to six channels of music to their wireless handsets, and Cool users will be able to purchase full-length tracks for $1. Cool Mobile operates on Cingular's GSM network.
It's good to see that iRadio is finally beginning to spread its wings a bit...
UPDATE: Motorola just terminated its relationship with CoolPrepaid (formerly cool.Prepaid), perhaps explaining the conflicting quotes above. So there you have it.
