more technoutopianism
I've just been listening to (UK) Radio 1's bank holiday ten hour takeover. Nothing unusual there, except I'm in Finland, and I was listening to it on my phone.
Today I thank the gods of 3G, mobile versions of RealPlayer, Dave's BBC streams list, and, most importantly, a company paying my phone bill.
(note to other wannabe radio streamers - make sure you're using an Internet APN, and that the APN in your phone's web browser is the same as the one in RealPlayer)
I've always said radio was a killer app for 3G, and it really is fantastic.
Update: well, it's not all that stable yet, but as a proof of concept, I think it's great. Now if only Radio 1 accepted text messages from other countries to request tracks. Oh, and 5 mins of listening to Radio 1 = 1.8Mb of data, so you can do the math on how much it costs.
