Pocket Tunes: tunes, Internet radio, and more on your Treo (continued)
With my Treo's screen turned off most of the time, my battery level dropped about seven percent in fifteen minutes of Internet radio playback. My Treo's battery life has always been an issue, so this doesn't seem particularly high for this specific unit, but it is something to keep an eye on if you won't have easy access to a charger. Do note that Internet radio takes quite a bit of bandwidth; I wouldn't suggest using it without an unlimited Internet access plan on your Palm.
Pocket Tunes is also able to connect to various online music stores, such as Real Rhapsody and Napster. Real Rhapsody is not available in Canada so I couldn't test it, but Napster's Canadian version worked perfectly with Pocket Tunes, and in fact according to the Napster site, works only with Pocket Tunes for Palm devices.
A high recommendation, and deserved. For its solid design and powerful features, Pocket Tunes earns a solid 4 out 5.
OUR RATING: 4 of 5
