Streaming audio service now on App Store, with ICQ app coming soon.
Web giant AOL has made its SHOUTcast internet radio service available as a free download from the App Store and has confirmed an ICQ app is also in the pipeline.
SHOUTcast Radio for iPhone and iPod touch offers access to 26,000 professional and community-programmed radio stations spanning more than 30 genres.
Users can search the SHOUTcast Radio directory, save their favorite stations and even shake the device to make it change stations.
Meanwhile, ICQ for iPhone will allow users to connect with anyone on AOL’s worldwide IM network – whether they are on AOL, AIM, .Mac or MobileMe – via IM or SMS.
ICQ features developed specifically for iPhone and iPod touch, including the ability to hold multiple IM conversations and swipe a finger to switch between them.
