Internet Radio Added to LobsterTunes

Electric Pocket has added new features to its LobsterTunes media player for Windows Mobile Pocket PCs. This application, released a few weeks ago as a full-featured MP3 player with wireless streaming capabilities, now lets users listen to Internet radio. It will also cache hundreds of songs to SD cards.

LobsterTunes now comes bundled with pre-loaded radio stations settings for the U.S., U.K., Germany and France, but any Internet radio station can be added.

One of the major features of this application is the ability to stream music off the user's home PC to their mobile device. But for the times when an Internet connection isn't available, LobsterTunes's new Extended Caching feature can give users access to hundreds of their tunes.

LobsterTunes is available now for an introductory price of $19.95 from the Electric Pocket web site.
