I am no longer using Windows Mobile these days, but I know a lot of your are, including our good friend Clinton Fitch.  One of the things I have really missed since making the move to the Palm Pre are some of my favorite software developers.  Spb Software, for example, has shown almost no inclination to make the move to WebOS, much to my chagrin.

Clinton, who is currently using the HTC Touch Pro, had an opportunity to test out Spb’s latest offering, Spb Radio.  I have to say, this looks like a fantastic app, which allows you to stream Internet radio stations directly to your Windows Mobile phone.  This is almost enough to make me consider switching back to Windows Mobile…well, not right now, but maybe once Windows Mobile 7 comes out next year.

In his typically thorough review, Clinton notes:

I’ve been using SPB Radio for several weeks now and have found it to be a great joy.  It allows me to listen to content that I would not otherwise be able to access readily (I’m a big fan of Jazz music but in Dallas we do not have a Jazz-only station).  The user interface is intuitive and the fact that SPB made it completely finger driven is a big plus.  Another big plus is that you can use it with WiFi which can save on monthly bandwidth and you are not subjected to signal drops, especially if you are listening while driving.

As I mentioned earlier, I strongly suggest you have an unlimited data plan when using SPB Radio.  The application does a great job of optimizing streams but you are still transferring data to your phone.  I usually listen to music using SPB Radio 3-4 hours per day.  In that time I easily rack up 100MB of data usage.
