Just Wondering. Its become my favorite aspect of my SmartPhone. I wish there was a Version of RealOne for Windows Mobile 2003. I'd have even more listening choices. People are signing up for Satellite Radio? this is the way to go.

Yes, this is also one of my favorite features of my smartphone. The lack of RA support doesn't really bother me since most of my streams are WMA or MP3 - what I really lament is that I can't find a player that will stream aacPlus (high quality/bitrate ratio, means good quality over slow connection).

I have a request in with the Betaplayer gurus to look into fixing that, they are on it they said. Hopefully I'll see some results soon :)

My favorite stream is WOXY.com by far (best indie music out there). Also, if you don't already know about it, check out Orb Networks FREE streaming media site - its a technology that allows you to stream any of your media (audio, video, image) from a host PC (like your home computer) to your mobile device. This basically means you can access your entire digital audio collection anywhere, anytime.

Just be thankful you live in a country where mobile data is affordable! :-)

Yeah, I suppose so. I mean, it's not all THAT affordable, its an extra $25/mo for my unlimited data. And that's standard GSM fare - not EDGE or anything :(

i do this, but on my pda, via my bluetooth phone.
Mostly just for streamed previews before purchasing music.

I also stream my home music and listen on the PDA via wifi, but it's a quick way to drain the battery.
