Access your PC’s audio content, anywhere

Blackberry users can stream audio from their home computer to their handset with the launch of a new free app.

Didiom, available for free download from Blackberry App World, enables users to stream songs, playlists, podcasts and audiobooks from their PC or Mac, wherever they have a mobile data connection.

The app can also be used to buy songs and audiobooks from the Didiom Mobile MP3 store.

“Launching Didiom on the BlackBerry App World is a giant step forward for us in reaching the rapidly-growing BlackBerry community,” said Ran Assaf, Didiom founder and CEO.

“Didiom doesn’t only eliminate the need for synching your iTunes library with your phone via USB; it also shifts the paradigm on how we mobilize our home computer’s media library.

“When you wait for a flight, stand in line at a busy Starbucks, or walk your dog, you can easily access your computer from your phone and stream anything from the latest audiobooks you’ve downloaded from Barnes & Noble to the latest podcasts you’ve downloaded from CNN, The Wall Street Journal, or ESPN.”

Podcast producer C. C. Chapman believes the app could revolutionise the way we access audio content.

“In this always-on-the go society we live in, I think it is crucial to make it as easy as possible to listen to your content,” Chapman said.

“As a podcast producer, I want people to be able to listen to my show wherever and whenever they want, and the opportunity that Didiom is giving me and my listeners helps make that possible.”
