Shazam: Now Ready For The BlackBerry Storm!

By Susan C on Jul 11, 2009 in BlackBerry, Downloads, Software, Storm 9500 Series.

Shazam

Thanks Claudia for sharing that Shazam is now available for the BlackBerry (NSDQ:RIMM) Storm. The official announcement will be public come Monday. The app is going to be available so long as you are able to download and browse the BlackBerry App World. Shazam is a really unique app for what it does.

Shazam is really impressive, and for those who don’t know what it is I’ll explain. You have Shazam downloaded and installed on your phone. You hear a song on the radio and you really like the song but don’t who made the song and want to know or would even like to have it. Well next you open the app and hold the phone to the radio to hear the song. The app will search and retrieve the song and even present the opportunity to purchase it! I’ve tried it before and it’s very easy to use. Basically it’s a song ID app. There is a free trial to see what you think of it. It’s not 100% foolproof accurate, but it’s pretty close.

We’ll keep you posted of the announcement!
