[cma-l] Talk to me about the Canstreamer Community Radio App (iPhone/Android) at the CMA Conference 11/06/11

[Bill Best]

Hi Gordon

Many thanks for your interest in the Canstreamer app.

Possibly O2 does not allow your device to 'consume' the continuous streaming
of any audio / video content:

Glad it worked on Vodaphone though!

*iPhone:*

*Android:*

I like the way the screenshot for the iPhone app in iTunes mentions the *CMA
Conference this Saturday 11th June in London* - limited number of tickets
still left, book now:

Best regards
