Soundtracker Leverages Skyhook Technology to Enable Location across all Android Devices E-mail
GIS News - Android Mobile OS

Geosocial Internet radio app now provides accurate location services on all flavors of Android, including Google, NOOK and Kindle Fire 

Boston, MA - May 16, 2012 - Skyhook, the world leader in location information, context and intelligence, today announced that Soundtracker (http://www.soundtracker.fm), a popular geosocial internet radio app, has integrated Skyhook on all Android versions, including the Kindle Fire, and the Barnes & Noble NOOK to provide location services.

Soundtracker is an Internet radio app that makes it easy to discover and play music in realtime with friends and people nearby. Users can comment on friends' stations, chat, check their latest music and more. Using current location, users can discover top artists in their city. Soundtracker provides access to any artist from any genre with the largest music catalog on Internet radio, with more than 13 million songs for free.

"We want to be able to reach all Android users regardless of what implementation of Android and integrating Skyhook is the only way to achieve that. The social location features are key to our user experience," said Daniele Calabrese, Soundtracker founder and CEO. "As we look to deploy on new mobile devices like the NOOK and others, we know the location experience will always be the same with Skyhook."

"Fragmentation has always been a concern for Android app developers and now with the emergence of forked Android platforms and Android emulators, the challenge is becoming more difficult," said Ted Morgan, founder and CEO of Skyhook. "Using Skyhook, developers can build their app once and the location will always work consistently on any Android enabled device."

Soundtracker's app is available today in the Amazon Appstore, Nook, and on Google Play. Skyhook provides an SDK for developers across most platforms and can be downloaded here. Today, Skyhook powers location on a number of Kindle Fire apps like OpenTable, MapQuest, HopStop and deCarta.
