SeeqPod brings internet streaming music to iPhone

One of features missing in the iPhone is internet streaming music and it is safe to assume that Apple will not be offering it anytime soon. Doesn't matter cause SeeqPod has just released an iPhone-friendly user interface to bring internet streaming music to your iPhone.
 

SeeqPod is a web application that lets you listen to music publicly available on the internet. You can search for music & podcasts by artists you like, as well as discover other artists and songs you were not familiar with. You can generate countless playlists of songs, save them for future enjoyment and share them with friends by e-mailing.

I really liked the user interface and searching and listening to the music you like was a breeze (I tried it on my laptop as I am still waiting for Apple to launch the iPhone in Europe).
It is currently in beta and absolutely free.

Some of the issues observed are: some of the songs have weird, filename-ish titles, you can only delete a song while it's playing, it also does not download the song on to your iPhone, which is probably to avoid copyright issues. 

You might be wondering how well will it work on the iPhone which uses AT&T's Edge network, Katie at MacRumors.com tried out SeeqPod on her iPhone over Wi-Fi and over EDGE. Here is a snippet of what she had to say:

"I tried this over the Wifi at my house and over EDGE. Wifi was fine and fast, just as expected, but over EDGE, that was a different story. The MP3 files take a good long time to download, so I wouldn't really recommend using this site via EDGE unless you're horribly, terribly, impossibly bored. It's a little bit faster than dial-up. Frustrating, but doable, but "rather not"-able."

So if you are not satisfied with your collection of songs on your iPhone synced from your iTunes library, then here is a cool alternative to listen to music on your iPhone. Point your iPhone to SeeqPod.com/iPhone and start listening.
