MobileBriefs' new Personalized Audio Broadcast (PAB) service is now fully compatible with the Microsoft Pocket PC platform. Pocket PC users can now create their own personal radio show, which they can listen to over a variety of PDA's, including the Compaq iPAQ, HP Jornada, Casio Cassiopeia, and many others.

The new service recently launched by MobileBriefs gives mobile device users the ability to create customized audio shows covering only the information of interest to them, set to the exact length of their commutes. The first product launched by MobileBriefs based on its personalization and mobile audio technology platform is http://My.MobileBriefs.com, which combines their technology with the world's largest base of business audio. MobileBriefs mobile audio personalization technology can be licensed and modified for many different industries, including healthcare, legal, IT, sports, political, science, and specialized publishing.

In addition to wireless streaming delivery to Pocket PCs, users also have the option of wireless synchronization or normal docked synchronization. This is especially useful in cities that are still building their high-speed wireless networks (i.e. GPRS, W-CDMA, CDMA2000, etc), where coverage is spotty at the moment, or where traditional docked synchronization may be preferred in the short term for cost reasons.
