Blaupunkt unveils world’s first Internet Car Radio

Forget FM, satellite radio, Internet radio is the future! And that is exactly what Blaupunkt wants to convey with the release of the first in-car Internet Radio. For all you geeks and non-geeks who are wondering about the source of the “Internet” for the radio, its nothing but internet via a 3G SIM. This is really exciting since with the growing popularity of 3G with the release of popular phones like iPhone 3G, there is going to be no dearth of signals for your beloved car radio to belt out tracks from your favorite online radio station.

Blaupunkt has created this device in collaboration with miRoamer and was one of the unique devices on display at CES 2009. miRoamer is a leading company that specializes in providing free internet radio to your portable player, PC and even your home theater. You can set your preferences on the site and switch between various stations on-the-go

All in all, this is one device that will definitely be in my car when it finally rolls out.
