While Slacker and Pandora are breaking out of the computer, FlyCast is expanding beyond mobile handsets and has just introduced desktop software. The Adobe Air application is both Mac and PC compatible and joins their initial iPhone and Blackberry clients. FlyCast streams a variety of free music and news programming, including many regional radio station simulcasts. As you can see above, the OS X implementation looks a lot like the iPhone interface… and I’m not quite sure how Apple will feel about that. Alhough I appreciate that FlyCast’s app is much more compact than Pandora’s Adobe Air experiment beta, the XM Vista freeware gadget still offers the slickest desktop music integration. Too bad I’m no longer a subscriber.
Adobe, not Abode. ;)
I can’t even tell you how often I do that… I must love my home or something. :)
