Hi,
say, is there any possibility to download the application (or its source code) without having a G1?
thanks

I know that last.fm is only allowed to stream to some countries, but why is the android app not even available in the countries it streams to, or not even in the ones it still streams for free? As the situation is now, last.fm on my iphone (with another sim) does stream last.fm pretty well, while I can’t even find the app in the german android market.
I know that maybe I can compile it with my own api key (it compiles but doesn’t show in the emulator for some reason)
however as streaming via iphone and desktop is still available here, I don’t really see why it should be blocked, so it would be really nice if you could comment on this. And yes, I do realize you are not custome support

Phoebe,

Not yet. The source will be released soon. The app uses a special last.fm API key that allows it to stream radio. This key must be kept secret due to licensing restrictions. This must be sanitized from the source, then we will open up the source for the world.

I do not expect the app itself (an android app package) will be released, again to licensing restrictions. Last.fm is only allowed to stream music in certain countries.

We’re doing our best to make the app as open as possible.
