Internet radio on the next iPhone?

(Via RedEye.)

I am a huge fan of Internet radio. Well, let me put it this way … I used to have this hobby when I was younger — trying to tune in distant AM stations on a regular old AM radio. I used to also have a shortwave radio. Now, as always, I just love hearing local radio from outside of where I live.

Part of it is learning new things … part is reminiscing and listening to places I used to live.

And now, iTunes has even better radio streaming than ever … maybe this didn’t happen just yesterday, but now there are all kinds of mainstream stations listed in iTunes.

And that got me wondering … with a 3G iPhone and a faster Internet connection, is iTunes radio streaming something we might end up seeing or having access to on the next iPhone?

I don’t know the technical limitations of it, but I for one hope it’s an option.

What do you think? Let me know in the comments

Thanks for calling.
