There is a way to listen to streaming radio on the blackberry.. Slacker.com. It's a totally free app (data charges from your carrier will apply), but it has several genres of radio stations to choose from. What I want is streaming news!

Good News if you like Conservative Talk:
Go to this: http://www.thestreamcenter.com/pda/ and my Blackberry Tour will play all stations that stream in the mp3 format. Just click on a state, scroll to a station you like, click the mp3, a select to "open" when prompted.
Also, the iheartradio application plays my favorites like ktlk (Minneapolis) and ktok (oklahoma) and wmal (DC) at any time I like. Just saying. Oh, and there is plenty of liberal crap playing too.

It's sad that my brother can listen to streaming audio from radio stations on his Motorola Q phone, and my blackberry pearl cannot....
