Some of the most popular apps for the iPhone and iPod touch are those that allow users to stream music from the Internet. A new application is now available for the iPhone that supports the true RTPM protocol for streaming music from Adobe Flash Media Servers.
The application is called Tuner2 Hi-Fi Radio and it is a custom version of the Modulation Index radio app. The app supports MPEG-4 HE AAC v2 audio and offers more stability and higher fidelity sound than typical MP3 or HE AAC v1 over HTTP music tracks.
The company claims that the format used with the app gives up to 4x better sound per bit than MP3 and has less overhead than HTTP tracks. The application can be downloaded on the App Store now for $8.99.

This sounds like a really cool app. I may have to check this out. If Adobe has a radio app, can Flash support be too far behind for Safari?
I think the fact you have to pay for the app sucks because this concept works great on my psp and it is 100 percent free. There are 5 different radio players available too. So what are the options for truely great free radio on the iPhone and itouch?
