Now with the iPhone, the tethering piece isn’t such a big deal because of the fantastic web browsing and Google Maps, but I still do miss the internet radio. Until now. I stumbled upon FlyTunes (literally). FlyTunes is a pretty slick Web Application that allows streaming radio to my iPhone. I know it sounds silly to want radio on an iPod, but there are times when I want variety, not the songs in my itunes library. I also have a hankering for public or talk radio sometimes. FlyTunes certainly meets that need. They advertise that they are are newly expanding and limiting new accounts, but I didn’t have any trouble getting one. If you do, I have a limited number of invites if you request on. They currently offer over 90 radio stations grouped together by genre with a very slick interface. When you launch a station, the handy dandy Quicktime player loads and allows you to stream the radio station to your phone. Audio quality was pretty good over the headphones on EDGE, and great over WiFi. Your milage may vary however. I due recommend making a shortcut on your Home Screen to the Web App once you have signed up. Give FlyTunes a try and see if you like it. Even with the iPhone expanding, it never hurts to have unlimited music to carry around with you. Comments |

I had a Samsung Blackjack for a while. To be honest, the entire experience was completely underwhelming. Despite my lackluster experience with it, there are two things that I miss about that phone. I miss being able to tether my laptop and share an internet connection, and I miss listening to streaming internet radio.
