TUAW giveaway for 10 copies of the soon to be released BuzzVoice 3.0
BuzzVoice is an app that lets you listen to the Internet anywhere, by reading stories to you from over 1400 sources that are selectable right in the app. It's something like Pandora for blogs. We reviewed BuzzVoice some time ago when it was first released and liked it quite a lot. Some time later, it was released for the iPad making it easier to use. Now a new version BuzzVoice 3.0 (US$4.99 as an introductory price which will be raised to $9.99) is about to hit the app store with some significant new features.
Instead of being limited to a buzzcast running between 15-20 minutes. The new version will play story after story for as long as you want to listen, providing hours of spoken information. The number of sources has been increased by about 2,000 200, bringing over 16,000 sites available for your listening pleasure. To date, BuzzVoice has streamed over 2 million stories to people on the go.
Other new features include being able to reselect new sources or topics without stopping the audio stream, a trending topics feature that will read breaking news as soon as its posted, the ability to create and save topic-based buzzcasts and more. Since the developers maintain that this is a totally new and greatly expanded app, current users of BuzzVoice will not get the upgrade for free, but be required to purchase it again in the same manner as was done with Tweetie 2 .
Upon release, BuzzVoice 3.0 will work fine on the iPhone, iPod touch and iPad, but not be a universal app providing full iPad resolution. That should come sometime later.
Developer John Atkinson has kindly offered us 10 promo codes for BuzzVoice 3.0 to give away soon after it hits the app store.
