I recently stumbled upon a great app that now brings home a step closer. It’s called Nobex Radio Companion. Let’s say that you are one of the millions of transplanted New Yorkers living anywhere from Miami to Seattle or anywhere in between. Getting to work and tuning in on the internet has always been easy to do, but as we all know, most of us spend hours each day in our cars. If you could listen to WFAN during your morning or evening commute does that make life any better? It might be life changing for some!

What if you’ve just been transferred from Miami to Des Moines? Would your days be any better if you could listen to WHQT?

Now you can. Simply download the Nobex app to your Blackberry, plug it into your radio adaptor, and as the snow is falling in Michigan, you can now listen to your favorite radio stations in Los Angeles.

What else can you do with the Nobex Radio Companion?

• Listen to over 4500 radio stations from more than 60 countries around the world and see the playlist information for over 2700 stations of these stations.
• Get Songs or Ringtones with a single click, right from your mobile device. Or, receive an email with links to buy the song on your PC, so you can always keep your music collection fresh!
• See Lyrics. Ever heard a song on the radio and wished you knew what the words were? Now you can see the lyrics of the song that is playing or was recently played.
• The lyrics can even scroll in sync with the song!
• Read Song and Artist Info about the artist who sings your favorite song.

For the money (free), it’s offers a fantastic platform whether you are just homesick or want the latest in smart phone tech.
