WFMU Introduces Live Broadcasts For iPhones

Scrappy New Jersey radio station WFMU has become the first radio station to broadcast live streams for the iPhone. From the station’s blog/press release:

We are pleased to announce that WFMU’s live streams are finally available on the iPhone. iPhone listeners can point their browsers at iphone.wfmu.org and listen to our live mp3 streams at either 128k or 32k and also choose from a selection of our archived content and podcasts. […]

It’s a bit ironic that the iPhone, a somewhat sophisticated piece of technology (tapped as “Invention of the Year” recently by Time) still lacks the basic live radio functionality that was available on the Walkman back in the 80s and the transistor radio as far back as the 50s.
