There is finally an internet radio app for the iPhone/iPod Touch and it didn’t come from Apple. No, in fact, it came from Conceited, the company that offers up a lot of the apps in the Installer library.

iRadio(Use iPhone to visit)  grants you access to a fairly long list of MPEG streaming internet radio stations. Its in beta, so it need some work, and you should be cautious about installing it. And yes, before you ask, it is reported to work over EDGE as well

Really, the only area in my opinion that it needs work, is with the data it displays, there are names in the far left column, but you can’t read the full names, and there isn’t any inclination to what type of music the station is playing. Furthermore, all the numbers and stuff in all the other columns, well I have no clue what they are for. However, they mostly have it locked down, functionally the app works, it has a volume knob built into the app, it plays even when your device is locked, and it really does stream music from the internet, it just needs some user-friendliness tweaks.
