More ways to listen to music for free are coming to the Android Market. FlyCast has made its way to Android after stopping off on the iPhone and BlackBerry handsets. Similar to the concept of Pandora, FlyCast brings screaming music to the palm of your hand without needing to download or store it on your device.
FlyCast is a bit different than the other applications because it allows users to listen to stations in which only a few allow you to skip songs. They have also partnered up with Facebook, AccuWeather.com and support AAC+ and Windows Media streams. Users can download a desktop player that mirrors exactly the FlyCast mobile application with 1000 traditional stations plus 300 ‘personalized’ stations with unlimited song skipping.
“2009 will be a year of transition for broadcasting, as hundreds of millions of new ’smart devices’ hit the streets, with incredible media consumption capabilities,” noted FlyCast CEO Sam Abadir. “FlyCast continues to lead the way in offering broadcasters and webcasters innovative platform capabilities to take full advantage of these new and compelling distribution opportunities.”
Now between Pandora and FlyCast how many more streaming music applications will be released? Personally I have no need for another streaming application, Pandora and FlyCast have all the areas important to me covered. FlyCast will be available soon, no definite date has been set though.

"Personally I have no need for another streaming application, Pandora and FlyCast have all the areas important to me covered."
I don't get it... is this supposed to mean that Pandora for Android has been confirmed? I haven't seen that reported.
"Now between Pandora and FlyCast how many more streaming music applications will be released?"
When he says "will be released", that really makes it sound like he's talking about Android, not desktop clients. But a Pandora release has not been announced as far as I know. (If it has, wouldn't it be worthy of a front page article in and of itself?)
Some of the articles here could use some fact-checking (and grammar corrections...)
