It looks like Internet radio and I-phones are starting to catch on. Check out this article from Radio and Records:

Internet radio upstart Pandora has streamed 3.3 million songs to iPhone users since the launch of its new mobile application, making it the third most popular such application for the red hot device -- the newest version of which Apple released on July 11.

The other side of the Pandora story, as reported in sfgate.com:

"The company, however, still faces life-threatening expenses due to the music royalty fees it pays record labels and artists for the right to stream music online."

You can't be the new "killer app" if your paying out more in royalties than you're bringing in.
 
Pandora is not internet radio, its nothing like radio, just a controllable playlist with no crossfading or DJs like accuradio. It's NOT RADIO....
 
Oh and by the way, as usual, Apple swoops in to the market late: Windows powered mobile phones have been able to play internet radio WITHOUT INSTALLING EXTRA PROGRAMS, for years, there's even a directory of friendly ones here: www.talkstreamlive.com
