iHeartRadio Coming To Android Wear Smartwatches

android weariHeartRadio will soon be wearable.

The digital radio service has teamed with Android Wear smartwatches, beginning Oct. 15. Android Wear users can use the watch as a remote control. Users will still need to plug headphones into their smartphones to listen, though the watch will allow them create new stations via voice search, and give a “thumbs up” or “thumbs down” to new songs.

Google’s Android Wear also runs Google Play.

iHeartRadio marks the first musical partnership for Android Wear. Meanwhile, Pandora is available on Pebble Smartwatches, while Samsung uses its own Milk Music on its Gear smartwatches. Apple is slated to release a smartwatch next year.
