As sort of an update to yesterday’s post and a followup on an earlier idea… When satellite radio came out I noticed there were no stations I’d really listen to. Maybe one or two tops. But I listened to internet radio all the time. I was tickled when I figured out how I could get my PDA at the time to get internet radio over bluetooth, so I could listen to it uninterrupted when I had to use the bathroom. This was before PDAs had wifi (and people even used PDAs). I always said if there’s a way I could get internet radio in my car, I’d jump on it so fast. I’d even pay for it. And everyone that knows me knows how much I love free shit. I’ve been listening to my favorite internet radio streams and even Pandora in the car through my iphone, and it’s everything I thought it could be.

Unlimited data… who’s bright idea was that? You really want to take a guy like me who almost literally lives online, and stamp a free all access pass on my hand? I like mobile internet, and I do a LOT of driving/walking/errand-running. 10 out of 10 for style, minus several million for good thinking. But hey, you offered it up and I’m more than willing to make use of the 30 bucks a month a pay for unlimited internet, IM, SSH/VNC, and internet radio… which, as I always said, I’m more than happy to do. Here’s to you, internet.
