AOL’s Apple 3G iPhone opens a door for Pandora
Will AOL’s iPhone app pave way for Pandora? Details of AOL’s streaming radio application for the Apple 3G iPhone have surfaced after it was revealed that the application won an Apple design award for “Best Entertainment Application” at this year’s WWDC. The free application will be available for the 3G iPhone next month, allowing users to stream 200 AOL online radio stations and 150 terrestrial radio stations over both Wi-Fi and 3G cellular connections.
While news of streaming radio capabilities coming to the iPhone is certainly exciting, personally, the thought of listening to terrestrial and AOL online stations doesn’t exactly get my blood pumping. The larger story here is that Apple and AT&T have shown a willingness to integrate streaming media into the iPhone, opening a door for streaming audio services such as Pandora, Last.fm, Muxtape, and others.
Of course, converting interactive Adobe Flash-based streaming audio web services into iPhone applications is no easy task, and the payoff has yet to be proven worthwhile. The possibilities are promising, however, and if the same application can be ported over to the iPod Touch (maybe even integrated with the iTunes Wi-Fi music store) consumers really will have a new way to discover music on the go.
