Mobbler - Live Streaming Music from Last.fm

To use Mobbler you will need a phone running Symbian S60 and an account set up with Last.fm.

Mobbler is a great app that brings the Last.fm experience to your Symbian phone. While most phone apps will usually "scrobble", Mobbler lets you stream music as well. This is really the feature we all want anyway. Can you say unlimited music library on demand?

If you are familiar with Pandora you will know Last.fm: online music streaming. Last.fm goes a step further by allowing you to share what you listen to with others and see what others listen to. You can "scrobble" or esstenially track the music you play in iTunes to Last.fm as a way to make sure the station is only playing what you like (separate download to your computer).

Go here to download Mobbler. Don't worry, this is also FREE!

You can use Vlingo to search the Internet, call someone, text , write a new memo, open applications, and update social networking sites like Facebook.

The application is verified to work on BlackBerry Pearls and Curves, but I tested it on a Bold and found it to work pretty well. I definitely recommend this one. It is a free app (although the website does not guarantee this will always be the case) so get it now!
