I love my Blackberry Bold 9000, but I've been very dissapointed with some of the available media players. Media/Streaming players like xPlayer and PocketStreamer have so far done nothing but dissapoint.
Today however I ran accross 2 players I didn't know existed before.
- FlyCast delivers music, talk, weather, and traffic to portable devices.
Introduced in January 2008, the network has grown very rapidly from 80
channels to well over 1000 in a nine month period, and more channels
are added weekly.
I've listened to about an hours worth of talk radio and I would have to say I'm impressed. I'm often without a radio or the ability to stream audio onto my computer, so this should be a great little app to have while I work. I've tried several other radio streaming apps; all of them were horrible in comparison to my short experience with this product. - Slacker Radio: I can't lie, when I found out that slacker radio had a mobile app that actualy worked on my Blackberry Bold I was almost gitty. The app is clean and easy to use, very professional. I listened to about 3 hours of my Latin & Reggaeton channel with my headphones and I was extremly impressed with the sound quality considering the type of hardware I was listening on.
There is also a pay to play that will cut out commercials and give you unlimed skips, something I might invest in for the paultry 3.99 a month.
