that looks pretty sweet. (quirks aside.)

why did i upgrade to the 1.1.2, now i wish i didn't, but then again is there jailbreak for it yet?

MOST IMPRESSIVE APP YET!!!!

ive been using for a while. the volume is tough to get right. I had to go into the ipod and turn the volume all the way up, then open iRadio and its loud enough to do the trick (and obviously it depends on the station)

When can i get my sirius internet radio on my iphone... it couldn't be too far from tweaking existing code in this

I finally took the jailbreak plunge yesterday and my eyes have seen the light!!! Anyone waiting for Feb's SDK is missing out on cool apps like this. Yeah, everything doesn't work perfectly, but it's totally worth it.

@TOTALFIXATION

there's been a jailbreak for a while (both mac and pc), takes 50 seconds (after the update which takes 8 minutes)

Damn those quarks and their peskiness.

Looks pretty nice. I'll have to give it a try on my Touch.

@Chris
"The app works best under WiFi, but is not limited to it, and does work while using EDGE."
Wouldn't it have been easier to just say "It works best on WiFi, but it can run on EDGE too"? Kind of confusing and redundant the way you put it.

@Kaiser-Machead: I know, the worst part is if these quarks get together the iPhone could end up full of protons.

I also just took the AppTap plunge (still working on firmware 1.1.1). But before I start installing apps willy nilly I was wondering - isn't there one app in particular that it's recommended be installed immediately after Installer so that you'll be able to scroll that home screen to see apps beyond the first 16...?

this app rocks. so much more potential. i can't wait for more updates.

@Pixelologist: You shuould get the summerboard if you jailbraked it with a GUI but you can download it from the installer

While the app is not perfect, in fact it is far from it, it does work. I'm eagerly looking forward to one of two things (hopefully both): the ability to search for station in the rather large number that it includes in the directory, or the ability to add my own streaming station URLs. Heck, I run a streaming station and can't find it in the directory. How mucked up is that? haha.

just to be a mac-hater, palm fanboy... my sprint centro came out of the box with the ability to stream internet radio. and it works like a dream over ev-do =]

Damn pesky quarks. The last thing we need now are a bunch of gluons and leptons to gunk up the oh-so-beautiful iPhone with atoms.

Come on guys... this blog is free. We can't expect copy-edited articles!

But for Chris' sake - it's a QUIRK. Not a QUARK. Not a QUAKE or a QUICK either. ;)

I have found on my iPod Touch that selecting a station and getting them to play does work as advertised. There are warnings that low bit-rate bring 'chimpmunk' audio, and I did hear that.

However, there are two buttons that do nothing; the Player button and the Settings button. So, I have no volume control, since on the iPT there is no physical volume control.

Still, KUDOS to Conceited Software for making this possible.

Finally, for a few weeks now, WFMU in New Jersey in conjunction with Tversity has been streaming to iPhones and iPod Touches at [iphone.wfmu.org] - check it out.

pfff, I can see how a German iPhone user enters the T-mobile-shop "T-Point" and asks the guy behind the counter why the bandwidth is so small.
The T-Guy then asks what he's been doing and is told that he wrote about two mails, surfed the net for an hour in the past month and listened to online radio.
The iPhone user then realises how crappy this bandwidth limitation really is.

Anyways, cool app.
F*** T-Mobile

I'd love to see an app that taps into Last.FM radio. They have the best quality and variety of artists that I have found any where.

@mangochutney: Move to America. The American T-Mobile has a far more reasonable data plan (one would expect that a company would give preferential treatment to their home market, but no... look at Motorola and Korea, for another example; I want that StarTAC III so bad).

@adam12hicks: We pay for the blog by showing up. Love it or leave it, I wouldn't respect any blog that wasn't being well financially compensated for the presence of an interested readership. That's just the way it is.

@kavendano14: That sounds like the one. Thanks!

They're going to get their ass handed to them by Motorola, who trademarked iRadio in 2002.

Making an irrelevent and non-comparable zune comment up in this thread.

I'm somewhat jealous. I use xmplay on my pc and it handles any url stream I can find. .rm/ram streams are a little trickier but plausible. And yes my favorite station is 2500 miles away.
Last I checked all phones that had wifi want money to access any source free or not (per minute/month whatever).
I refuse to ever pay for free wifi access and see free wifi as a better alternative to a monthly bill (unless you really need/use it).
I shun "I" anything as it tries to be proprietary and closed like M$.
Google's android will make iidiot look like a preschooler in heat. That's if they win all their arguments, of course.

Awesome in concept... but finding a particular station is impossible. Where is KEXP?!

I honestly can't wait to see someone port Android over to the iPhone... now THAT will be a day... :-)

. this isn't by Conceited Software - this is by Subband. Conceited is one of the companies that hosts repositories for Installer.app.
. 'port Android over to the iPhone' -- that makes little sense. ~"someone should port windows over to osX - now THAT will be a day...".

iRadio works great over edge. I can stream 128 kbps stations as long as I've got full bars, which is fantastic. 128 kbps isn't much, but with all of the TCP overhead I would've thought it wouldn't work.

Regardless of what you think of his ideas about net neutrality, Tim Wu is unequivocally right about one thing: Ziphone is downright magical. Thanks to it I've been in possession of an unlocked iPhone for the past few weeks, and I've been quite pleased with it.
