Pandora, Last.fm, and Spotify are cool and all, but sometimes you want a more online radio type of service. For that, iHeart Radio is your app. Already available on iPhone and BlackBerry, iHeart Radio is simple to use web radio app that allows you to find the exact type of radio station or stations you want be navigating by genre. With over 350+ of america’s favorite radio stations, those looking to tune into the infamous radio stations that we so often hear about on TV, movies, and the media can now be within reach. Personal playlists and per-artist streaming music is cool, but at the end of the day, sometimes we just want to hear a real radio station from lands far away. Know what I mean?
With that said, Android users have been waiting for an iHeart Radio app to hit the Android Market for what seems like an eternity now. Thankfully that wait is coming to an end as a 2009 Holiday launch is quickly approaching according to a ClearChannel press release. The wait may have been long folks, but the end is in site. iHeart Radio and Android will be best friends by the end of the month. Who’s stoked?
**I’ve sent an email to iHeart Radio asking about the devices supported specifically as a quick jaunt over to iHeart Radio’s mobile app page only mentions the Droid. I can’t imaging why they’d leave out the vast numbers of Android users on 1.5/1.6 though so don’t get too bummed. We’ll see how it plays out folks.
