Listening to radio on new 3G iPhone

Hi

I purchased the original iPhone in April and was disappointed that it was not possible to listen to FM radio. I found that I could stream some stations such as Capital FM on musicradio.com over the Edge network, however, it would cut out immediately when on the move.

I intend to upgrade to the new 3G phone this month but wanted to know if the 3G network would be able to support radio streaming without interuptions when travelling? I live and commute in London.

If it is not possible to do this over the Safari browser, are then any software options available to me?

Many thanks,
Carl

I have been an XM radio subscriber for over four years now. Since my 3G iPhone arrived in July, I have completely ignored two of my 3 XM radios. I'm actually thinking of canceling two of them. Especially now that the merger has gone through, I don't want any part of Sirius. The third sun I will keep only because it was one of the features I looked for when I bought my car before a merger was even thought of.

I love listening to Last.FM and FlyTunes. I don't care about the other ones, just the ones I don't have to hear commercials on.

I never liked Sirius limited playlists. XM was always known for their deep playlists.

A few years back, I had a Sirius radio for a few months and was tired of hearing the same songs everytime I turned it on. I remember one night going to dinner. On the drive there, we heard A Boy Called Sue or whatever the song title is, on one channel. Got out of the restaurant and the song was again playing. I cancelled the account a few months later.

BBC Radio 1 works with ooTunes. It supports windows media, real audio and mp3/aac streams.

See:

or

for a list of stations.
NOTE: Since I am the developer of ooTunes..

I may receive some form of compensation, financial or otherwise, from my recommendation or link.
