Hah! Apple, Conceited has beat you to the release of another great piece of software, internet radio for your iPhone or iPod Touch. It works great on the iPod Touch with a WiFi connection, and reports are it works well with the iPhone’s EDGE connection as well.

(Thanks Ken Allen!)

The streams are MPEG streams, but hey, it’s a step in the right direction. It starts fast, works fast, sounds good, and will continue playing even when the iDevice locks, just like the iPod app.

There are a ton of stations, I don’t recognize any of them, and most of them I can’t even read their names, so a web based list with genres, sources, or at the very least full names would be great. 9to5Mac reports they are having some issues with it, specifically when syncing, but it’s beta software, so use it at your own risk. Its available from within Installer, enjoy!
