Conveniences of the Digital world - iPhone AOL Radio App
Ricardo Trejo
I was driving home from work in the wee hours of the morning - around 6am to be exact, and I felt like listening to a morning show, but thing is my radio doesn't pick up anything that I like in the area. I live relatively far from LA, or any populated city, so I can't tune into something local 'cause of lousy my radio is. So thinking quick on my feet I realized that I have the AOL Radio app on my iPhone and realized if I wanted to I could listen to something other than the usual suspects. I used to live in Las Vegas and I listened to a particular morning show religiously every morning, so I figured I'd hit that up. So I hooked my Iphone 3GS into my car via microphone jack, with its 3G enabled, and fired up the AOL Radio app. I looked up the local stations for Las Vegas and in seconds I was listening in LIVE on what was happening about 300 miles away. I knew I could do it before, but it wasn't until then that I found a practical use in my own daily life for it.
I drove for 30 mins in sheer bliss and thought of it as a great convenience of living in the digital world.
