FlyCast, the satellite radio kind of service designed for Apple iPhone and iPod Touch, is now available to a native iPhone app. All the content (over 1000 digital channels) you used to stream via Safari can now be accessed using a dedicated application.
In addition, the FlyCast native app also includes a host of listener experience enhancements and time-shifting features such as:
- TimeSlip which allows users to continue to listen to a station even during extended periods without a connection
- “Top of the Hour” which allows latecomers to listen from the beginning of talk radio shows
- “SongSkip” allows forward skip on certain webcast stations and pause on all stations.
Other new features include an embedded web browser, background play and battery saver modes, a connection speed identifier, and the ability to play any of over 25,000 worldwide Internet radio stations in the Shoutcast directory.
The FlyCast iPhone player is completely free and you can find out more about it from this link.

Dusan has been using smartphones since their introduction and is now following the latest trends in the industry. The "convergence" is what he's most excited about, and writing about it is the next logical thing to do. He thinks that using a smartphone is what everyone who cares about their time should do. In addition to his interests in mobile phones, Dusan also loves to experiment with the latest web and mobile 2.0 services. The idea of accessing and managing your information from any device no matter where you are simply amazes him. Whether it's an online to-do list, note taking service or a video sharing social network, he's there to try it out. He admits though, he's still searching for the ultimate web-based organizational tool, which "sings" perfectly with the mobile PIM application. Dusan used to run SymbianWatch.com which later became part of IntoMobile. He lives in Serbia, South-East Europe, from where he edits the site on a daily basis.
