We are still stopping short of calling the iPhone a genuine WiFi radio, but a new application from iRadio has certainly lent it some of the features that we would be looking for.
iRadio turns the iPhone into a SHOUTcast player capable of streaming thousands of stations over WiFi or EDGE. SHOUTcast doesn't have the station catalogue of say, Reciva, but it is still well worth trawling through for hidden gems.
iRadio is a step in the right direction for a handset that is crying out to be given a true internet radio application.
