I originally built this app around one of the Apple streaming samples, just so I could listen to Dandelion Radio, a station in the UK.

I ended up adding in panel animation, and stream-scraping / detection from Google.

Eventually, I decided to strip out most of the more complex stuff, including the fairly ugly Javascript in a UIWebView scraping and sliding animations, and go ahead and productionize for the App Store.

After a few rejections for various problems, the app is now pretty robust, and useful as an unobtrusive and easy to use streaming clock radio.
