iPhone

iPhone and iPod touch owners are no longer constrained by their iTunes song library thanks to the iTunes App Store. With services from Pandora Radio, AOL Radio and Last.fm, all deliver streaming music to iPhones and iPod touches, the dance party never has to stop because of a lack of tunes. We groove to each service to help you find which one is right for you.

According to Jonathan Zdziarski, Apple has a blacklisting mechanism built into iPhone Software 2.0, hidden away in CoreLocation.

The idea is simple, touch the screen as soon as the color changes to judge your reaction time.

Check out the review after the jump.

Last.fm

Love Last.fm? You may like its eponymous iPhone app. Not familiar with the service? Do yourself a favor and try AOL Radio or Pandora instead. It’s not that the app is bad, per se, it’s just confusing and inconsistent, especially compared with the competition.

Pandora Radio

Universally adored by music fans, streaming-music service Pandora is sure to be equally adored by iPhone and iPod touch users, who can get in on the action with the nifty Pandora Radio app.

AOL Radio

So the iPhone and iPod touch lack an FM tuner. So what? AOL Radio fills the gap and then some, serving up some 350 stations of streaming-radio goodness. It’s a fantastic app for music and talk-radio fans, and it doesn’t cost a penny.

I Am Rich

Got $999.99 lying around?

If you do, the latest app store offering is perfect for the super-rich iPhone owner who has everything. The I Am Rich app created by Armin Heinrich, displays a glowing red icon on your iPhone to help remind you, just how much better you are than the rest of the huddled masses.

We would review this app, but we spent our last $999.99 on really nice solitaire game.

UPDATE: I Am Rich has disappeared from the App Store. Maybe someone bought it?

iPhone owners should fire up iTunes because iPhone software 2.0.1 is ready for iPhone installing goodness.

The 250MB download fixes bugs on the iPhone and reportedly makes the iPhone UI snappier.
