Internet Radio in the Car

The other day while driving my son to school- I turned on my favorite local radio station and heard a song I didn’t like (note to self: call the station to see if they would like to do a music test). Like any button puncher would do, I went to my second favorite – the classic rock station only to hear a deep track that was …let’s just say pretty deep. So rather than go three deep on the local dial….I decided to take the extra step now available to us in the year 2010. I opted for my iPhone which I plug into my satellite radio line in.. I tapped my radio app on my iPhone and in mere seconds my son and I where dashboard jamming to a great track on Icecast's M2 Analog 80’s Channel. For the ride home I did a quick in car monitor of a BOB client 2,000 miles away. My phone is on the 3G network- so the quality of the stream is amazingly good. Better sounding in fact than FM. Internet radio in the car isn’t something that coming- it’s already here.
