HIGH-TECH GOES LOW-TECH

The promotional machine is gearing up here at AZPM to tout a new iPhone and iPod Touch application that allows you to listen to KUAZ on your cell phone. This sounds familiar...

Radio

Portable radio is really nothing new. Remember a thing once called the transistor radio, which Wikipedia says was first invented in the 1950s? Wireless, battery-powered radio? What a concept!

Sure, listening on a cell phone is new, but I'm not sure this really is a so-called killer app. You can listen to the radio just about anywhere these days, even on an inexpensive mp3 player. I have this feature on my non-iPod player and I NEVER use it.

I guess the rub here is that you can listen to KUAZ if you're out of town. Sure, you can do that on a computer, but forget about that. The station is really excited about this.

You can find out how to get the application here.

Oh yeah, if you don't have an iPhone, you can still listen to us on the go. Just make sure you have batteries in the boombox, or whatever your radio of choice is these days.

I love high-tech toys just like the next guy, but am I the only one who uses a cell phone simply to make a call?
