Review: iheartradio for Blackberry

There are several radio apps out there for your Berry, all with different pros and cons. My current favorite is Slacker, which does quite well for me. Other options are Flycast or Nobex RC, which I haven't tried. Now we can add iheartradio to the mix.
iheartradio has a little different twist to the internet radio which could be considered a negative by some: it streams terrestrial radio stations. You read that correctly. Seems kinda strange considering most of us tech-savvy folk are going with satellite radio or internet radio to avoid commercials and ridiculous banter from dj's that just takes up our precious music-listening time and annoys us to no end. While I get commercials on the free version of Slacker, it is one at a time for 20 seconds, not several minutes of commercials for every 20 minutes of music (plus the talking). I can only imagine that they are marketing to those out there who are somehow unaware of Slacker or Flycast. I suppose, however, that there are still people out there who find their disc jockey talk endearing, and for those this is a good app, because it supposedly culls the best stations from around the country (based on whose opinion I don't know). So if you used to live in Charlotte, NC and really miss 106.5 the End, here's your way to hear it on the go, just like the good old days.
I don't mean to criticize iheartradio so much. It's the idea of terrestrial radio that annoys me, not the delivery service here. All-in-all it's a good app for what it does, and I may wind up using it some. But not as much as Slacker or the music on my memory card.
