IClockRadio turns your iPhone into a clock radio. You can listen to a good 100 radio stations with your iPhone. iClockRadio functions as a clock which, at a set tme, will automatically start to play a radio station. With this, iClockRadio adds 2-in-1 functions to the iPhone, since the iPhone itself doesn't have an FM-receiver or digital radiotuner. iClockRadio uses the mobile internet for the radio-reception. Very unique is that reception is also possible on the older, first generation iPhone, using GPRS (3G/UMTS-reach is not a necessity).General disadvantage of this kind of data-eating applications (streaming music) are the still high roaming tariffs, making the use abroad limited for the time being.
Future Vision by Erwin Van Lun on this article
We’ll do everything on every screen. Calling on tv, gaming on the cell, listening to radio on the navigation system and internetting on our game console. Each screen will become a window to 1 virtual world and this is a nice example of it.
