Ignoring for the moment the slightly cheesy graphics. How would you like to have these music blog categories on your iPhone? Imagine being able to scroll through potentially hundreds of music blogs and then being able to play all the music on a particular site through your iPhone. I think that’s pretty cool. Especially since I like to hook my iPhone up to my overpriced stereo for best results.
IHeartNewusic! is the app that can do all this and it was just released in its latest version this weekend. The app only works on wifi at the moment but I suspect 3g capabilities will follow soon. It comes preloaded with about 50 music blogs (Largehearted boy, GVB, MOKB and yes Songs:Illinois!). You can also add your own favorite music blogs by surfing the web with the built in browser and simply bookmarking the sites you love. What’s nice is that you can read the blog as you listen in real time.
The fact that there is a built in web browser avoids that annoying iPhone app problem where you can only do one thing at a time. For instance the radio apps that are now available are fine for just listening but you can’t surf the web at the same time. Being able to do both with this app is incredible.
You can download the app here for $2.99.
