Friday Recap: webOS Goes Open Source, AccountEdge 2012, Spotify Radio

Posted 12/09/2011 at 2:25pm | by J.R. Bookwalter

It’s been an interesting week in the tech world, particularly for fans of “personalized reader” apps who now have a trio of solid choices that work on screens small and large (thanks to the new Google Currents and both Zite and Flipboard going universal on the iPhone). Hey, maybe you’re even reading this right now from your Currents app -- if so, you probably want to get on with the day’s news, so here’s the best and brightest from Friday, December 9, 2011.

Free App Friday: On the Radio

Posted 11/18/2011 at 12:29pm | by Florence Ion

Donna Summer put it best when she said that love is found on the radio. And sure, in this generation we've got stations like Pandora and Last.FM, but those stations ask us to dictate what it plays. The radio's best feature was just that: the way it could spontaneously change our moods based on the next song the DJ'd decide to play. With that, here are three free apps to help take you back to that time before the iPod was permanently tethered to your car stereo and you kicked the good ol' FM radio to the curb.

App Showdown: Radio Streaming

We haven't listened to the radio in years. Often there are more commercials than songs, and blocks of commercials can last forever. Then you get to hear the same twenty hit songs over and over. If you live in a city with great radio, you're lucky, as media consolidation homogenizes everywhere else.

People complained that the iPhone didn't have an AM/FM tuner in it, but what if your radio wasn't just limited to your immediate area? What if you could spin that dial and tune in to stations all over the globe? If you're a radio aficionado, that's an app worth having.

If you’re a fan of old-fashioned terrestrial radio, you’ve probably already discovered ooTunes Radio, one of the biggest and best iOS apps that pulls in live AM/FM broadcasts from over 150 countries -- and thanks to a new 4.0 update, looks good on the iPad while doing it.

iPad 2 Rumored to Gain Dual GSM-CDMA Radio

With Verizon Wireless offering the iPad coupled with their CDMA-flavored MiFi 2200, it’s not a surprise to hear rumors that the next generation of Apple’s tablet may come with a CDMA-compatible radio baked right in alongside GSM so 3G can be used anywhere in the world.

Someone, we forget who, once said, "There's an app for that." Boy, he wasn't kidding. After the jump see what happens when musician/comedian Reggie Watts showed up on Sirius radio without his gear.

Apple Makes HD Radio Patent Application

While iPod nano users have been enjoying the ability to tune in FM radio for quite some time now, the users of other Apple devices such as the iPod classic and the iPhone have been left out the over their air audio party. A new patent for the Cupertino-based company in the area of HD radio may signal that this bizarre exclusion's days are numbered.

Internet radio offers options well beyond the powers of old-fashioned broadcasting, but something’s still missing--that’s because many music apps don’t go the extra mile themselves to let you record internet-radio streams. Radio Gaga plays and records thousands of stations, but the more you try to do with it, the more you’ll only hear static.

Logitech Squeezebox Radio

Great design is often about subtracting unneeded elements. Logitech has taken the opposite approach, building up the Squeezebox Radio from a bucket of buttons and features like a child trying to attach every last Mr. Potatohead part. As we navigated clunky menus and pecked at the various controls, we were disappointed with many aspects of this music streamer. But after we got it going, the Squeezebox Radio did a good job of booming out an unlimited supply of tunes and talk in spite of its misfires.

Back in the day, people listened to the radio all the time, and families would gather ’round it in the evenings, and it was all a very big deal--um, so we’re told. Today it’s easy to look at radio as a last resort, the old standby when you forget your iPod or there’s no computer around for firing up Pandora. Fans of radio will appreciate the Aluratek WiFi Internet Radio, Home Theater Edition, aka the AIREC01F (another tech product whose name just rolls off the tongue).
