Android users to get some Last.fm love


android_lastfm

One thing about smartphone users – they love to get their streaming music. Up until now it is usually the iPhone that is getting all the love from sites like Last.fm but that is about to change with an announcement on the Last.fm site that users of the T-Mobile G1 can now have the same goodness.

According to Shane McGlaun over at SlipperyBrick the Last.fm application is now available on the Android Market

The Last.fm application is available now on the Android Market. Features of the application include up-to-date concert information, streaming radio stations, personalized streaming radio, the ability to find similar artists and genre-specific radio streaming.

One important new feature for the Android application is called Background Playback. This allows the music to be played in the background while another application is being viewed or used. That means that you can listen to your music while you surf the Internet or play a game.

I’m sure this will make a lot of people – if there are any – using the G1 very happy indeed.

    I've been using Blackberries for over a year now (and have several of them to date). I'm not necessarily an “expert” on BB's but I know more than the average user.

    I'm a gadget addict with full blown Blackberry addiction :-) If you have never had one and don't know what I mean when I say that don't worry, you will soon enough ;-) They say once you go BlackBerry you can never go back and for the most part that is true. I have had several Blackberries on Verizon (8830 World Edition, Curve 8930, Storm 9530, and soon to be the Tour 9630) which is my preferred carrier. But I do have a line on AT&T because I could not resist the Bold any longer. Soon I will have an unlocked TMobile BB 8900 Curve and swap that back and forth with my Curve (the wonders of a SIM card).

    I came across a site for the blackberry tour owners http://www.Blackberry-tour.com I hope you will also find it useful. talk care.
