Flycast claims that their new iPhone App called FlyCast Mobile [App Store] provides a worthy competitor to satellite radio.

The free download offers over 1000 digital channels including "all genres" of music, talk, news sports, weather and traffic in both audio and video formats. They also partner with radio broadcasters to bring live radio streams as well as on-demand video and audio from networks such as CNN, MTV, BBC and more.

A couple of unique features include:

- "StreamAhead" which allows you to continue to listen to a station during periods without a network connection
- "Top of the Hour" which allows you to jump to the beginning of a talk radio show even if you join late
- Included web browser so you can browse while listening
