If you like listening to the radio, especially on your mobile, you will be very pleased about the news from Spodtronic who have just launched a radio client for Nokia handsets:
Since May 2007 Spodtronic 2.1 is also running on the Nokia series 60 v3 phones!
Download spodtronic to your mobile phone in order to listen to the best radio stations and podcasts of the world, whenever and wherever you are…
If you’ve got an unlimited GPRS or 3G data connection, this is for you.
The client is compatible with Nokia 5700, 6290, E60, E61, E61i, E65, E70, N71, N73, N80, N91, N93, N93i or N95 handsets and also supports WiFi - Great news for us N95 users!
Once downloaded and installed, you have the option of Live Radio or Podcasts from the main screen. Selecting Live Radio will present you with the following screen:
You can then select either the Top Radio Stations, or add a new station from the Radio Directory which will then be added to your Favourites for future use.
The Radio Directory is a great place to start as it allows you to search for your desired radio station by Country and Genre. I’m a man of the 80’s so love Club 977, which was one of the first stations I added:
One you have the radio stream up and running, you will be presented with the song details & album art. You also have the opportunity to rate the current song being played!
Of course there is also the Podcasting side to the application, which works much the same as the Radio Directory, allowing you to pick and choose your favourite audio Podcasts:
Overall this is one polished application! The screen grabs above don’t do the product justice as you can’t get a feel for the slickness and animations as you move around Spodtronic. They have shown us just how mobile applications really should be built! It should be a must have for any serious S60 3rd Edition user out there! I urge you to get your copy today!

abhijit - Maybe your service provider is blocking some ports that the Spodtronic uses?

Very useful programme but it doesn’t keep running at background. it always has to be on the screen so it wastes the phones battery..
