Stitcher adds car mode to iOS app, encourages responsible driving

|

Stitcher just announced a new car mode for its iPhone app, bringing a simplified interface that works in both portrait and landscape positions. Accessible by tapping the Stitcher logo at the top of the screen, car mode offers a pared-down version of the app’s standard UI, with bigger buttons and only the essential audio controls. It’s nowhere near as flashy as Stitcher’s BMW integration, mind you, but the point is to keep your eyes on the road and off your iPhone’s screen. The app gets a few other updates this time around: a front page with top headlines, one-tap access to shows and podcasts you’re searching for and improved playback when you’re picking up in the middle of a show. Head to the source link below to give the app a spin, and drive safely!

BMW launches Stitcher integration at SXSW (hands-on video)

BMW announced today at SXSW that it’s teaming up with Stitcher to integrate the popular iPhone app’s on-demand streaming functionality into vehicles equipped with the BMW Apps and Mini Connected technologies. We ran into BMW’s Robert Passaro in the halls of Austin’s Convention Center and he was kind enough to give us an exclusive demo of Stitcher inside a lovely BMW 650i convertible ahead of today’s launch. Most the iPhone app’s features are available using the vehicle’s infotainment system, including the ability to search, provide feedback (“More Like This” and “Listeners Also Like”), and create / remove custom stations — album art is even displayed in high-resolution alongside show information. Take a look at our gallery below, then watch us tune Stitcher into the Engadget Mobile Podcast right from the BMW’s center console in our hands-on video after the break.
