Dustin…Aren’t you being just a little picky now.

I listen to Pandora all the time and am constantly amazed at how it works (and how well it works). I know you listed it in your ‘rant’ but if you haven’t actually tried it you should…it sounds like exactly what you are looking for. I’m listening to it now!!!

I want a ‘My Station’ idea, not a list of stations to choose from. I want software which will learn what I like.

A lot of crappy stations, but a couple decent ones if you’re willing to sift through them all.

I was also hoping that OpenMoko gets a little further along in it’s development before I need a new phone. That way they can hopefully harmer out some more issues with it.

Is it wrong that I didn’t read the whole post, yet have written many comments?

Brandon, actually your ‘random tangent’ was just on. This plan is get a service like this for all devices.

Openmoko is a little dodgy yet. I’ll let them get further along in their process. The Helio Ocean looks freakin sweet though. Also, the one thing that I was holding off for (3G capable) the helio one has. I hadn’t seen Helio before. I might go with that…. I’m not sure how big their network is, or how stable the company is, but it looks worth checking into. Their “unlimited” plans are a bit spendy though.

Brandon, my two favorite mobile devices/phones right now are the Open Moko (openmoko.com) and the Ocean Helio (http://www.helio.com/#devices_ocean). Check those out, if you are interested.

I’m just waiting to get a mobile device (read: phone) that allows me to listen to streaming radio stations. They’re out there, but I don’t have one. Also, anything less than 2.5G phones really can’t handle the bandwidth requirements (anything over 128kbps streams), so I am looking at which providers have the necessary network horsepower to keep up with those streaming media needs (also, since I work on CDMA, I might have to go with a CDMA phone/provider)…
