Last.fm recently announced  the launch of of its internet radio application for the Google Android mobile platform. The application is available for download through the Android Market.

From its blog:

One Android only feature we’re pretty excited about is… background streaming! This means you can keep listening while you browse the web, buy songs from Amazon or check out maps for an event that looks interesting. We’ve been playing with the prototypes for a while and can honestly say this is a killer feature.

Its Android version’s features include:

• Similar artists and genre-specific streaming radio stations
• Personalized streaming radio
• Up-to-date concert information
• the ability to track users’ listening habits to their Last.fm profile.

The Last.fm’s Android version follows the service’s successful launch on the iPhone and iPod Touch last year, as well as integrations with Vodafone, T-Mobile, and the Three/INQ1 Social Mobile in Europe.
