I've been listening to AOL Radio on the iPhone 3G this whole morning while on 3G at full bars and AOL Radio kept stopping, then starting where it left off, then stopping again after 5 minutes, repeat.

I turned off 3G and it's on EDGE now and it hasn't lagged since. It's playing perfectly. Why does it lag on 3G?

probably because you really don't have full 3g reception. apple's update wasn't stated to increase 3g reception, they stated it was to change the indicator to show more bars. chances are most likely if you show 3-5 bars 3g, you really only have about 0-2 bars 3g. yeah apple!

I have the first gen. iPhone and I have been having the same problem, even on WiFi.

Sadly, I don't know what's going on with this app. Hopefully there is a solution soon!
