There’s been a lot of heat and not much light about which internet music services work on the iPhone – and whether you need to download an app to use them. As far as Psonar is concerned it’s simple – we’re taking advantage of the HTML 5 support that Apple has built into the iPhone’s browser to allow us to stream music from Psonar to our users when they’re out and about with their iPhones without an app. Navigate to the Psonar mobile website, log-in and enjoy your music.
I have to confess to being rather an agnostic in the great app debate – on the one hand it’s all much easier if rich functionality and content can be accessed directly through the browser – just navigate there and get going – as Rich Urwin explained in his Psonar blog post There’s No App for That in March. On the other, apps are a great way for people to identify and access content as well as applications in a way that is safe and easy – and they can also get to them again using the icon that’s installed with every app.
Of course, it’s also easy to add Psonar to the list of app icons on your iPhone or Touch – navigate to www.psonar.com, touch the ‘+’ symbol on the bottom of the iPhone browser screen, select ‘Add to Home Screen’ and a Psonar ‘P’ bookmark will be added:
