Internet Radio on iPhone

[osxnewbe]

I was wondering if anybody has been able to listen to an audio stream from a radio station's website on the iPhone using the Safari browser.

One thing that intrigues me if I can could say while at lunch and using a restaurant's wi-fi listen to an audio stream...

I've been trying real hard, but no luck yet. I'm not sure if the Quicktime on the iPhone supports the same protocols as a normal Quicktime. I still need to test using a Quicktime server (rare since most are MP3).

This is one feature I really hope they try to add. This and podcasts that stream directly from the iPhone with no computer at all. I never listen to them at home but when I'm out on the road wanting something to do they come in handy... but I never have any!

Nice idea but that would eat up battery life too quickly.
So no internet radio please

You can play mp3s files directly from Safari. So if you go to a site that has direct links to its podcasts, then it will work.

Update: Actually, I just realized Safari comes with a great RSS reader, so just bookmark your Podcast URL and you're set to go.

Other phones can do it, and I rather have a feature and not use it when worried about battery.
