NOTE: it's not recommended that people on the streets try and listen all the time via their phones as that will quickly drain the batteries - short news updates will be given on the hour every hour.
You may have to enable non marketplace installs for this to install on your phone.
Note
This is free software under the GPL v3 and comes with no warrenty whatsoever

Note on installing and running
Due to the short notice and ongoing development, the app is still signed with the android sdk debug key. However, this will run just fine on the phone.
Please note that running a permanent stream via 3G will take a lot of battery! The availability of the stream - despite the fact that it uses a downsampled stream of 32kbit - will also massively depend on the quality of service of your carrier.
Developers
