Resco Pocket Radio is an interesting audio player providing streaming for duzins of internet radio stations. If you enjoy listening internet radio on your handheld, Resco Radio is a must-have! The quality of the sound is astonishing, as the program uses two of the best audio formats- MP3 and OGG, and the playing process provides comfortable experience, even if you have a weaker internet connection. In other words, Resco Radio tries ( and succeeds) to always provide you a good gapless playback.

By default, the program offers you a generous list of some of the most popular radio stations, such as SKY FM, Digitally Imported, 1.FM or HitzRadio. You can choose to extend this list by using music genre criteria, which I find very useful; you can also import other radio streams using easy radio. Regarding the UI (user interface), this app looks good and is generally finger-friendly; for instance, you can set 9 favourite radio stations on the dedicated big buttons from the main screen, which is a good tap-and-tune feature.

Note that this program requires a direct internet connection (apn internet via edge/3G/HSDPA or wifi) and  unfortunately does not support proxies.

Features:

• Full support of Bluetooth head-sets, ideal for jogging NEW!
• Quick, convenient and touch optimized player directly in the Today Plugin NEW!
• MP3 or Ogg Vorbis format player for internet
• streaming radios.
• Extensive lists of radio stations from a wide variety of musical genres.
• Easy radio importing lets you manually enter other radio streams.
• Convenient skin-enabled user interface with 9 preset buttons for fast radio tuning.
• Scheduled recording lets you record broadcasts while you’re away.

There are two version for Resco Pocket Radio: one for Windows Mobile Smartphones and one for Windows Mobile Touch Phones. We expect this app to work on pretty much any device, featuring Windows Mobile 5, 6, 6.1 or 6.5.

Youtube Google Application  is one of the best to be used for streaming Youtube videos. Not only that is an official application from Youtube, specially designed for Windows Mobile, but is a very good one. As far as I can tell it has worked very fine on all HTC phone I’ve tested it on. The application has a nice user interface, with graphic effects and good looking fluid animations. The video playback is quite good- you will not have very clear images, but this is the price to pay for a flawless playback, without lags.

It seems that the video clarity is adapted to your device’s connection speed, which is very smart. It’s a pitty though that there aren’t many options in this application and you cannot custom it too much. But, for a  free application it’s great and so let’s be gratefull to it’s authors, they did a great job on it.

Pocket Music Bundle is a powerful music player for HTCs and one of the most popular windows mobile players. Created by PocketMind, it seems to be a good program with light usage of your phone’s resources- small amount of RAM  and low CPU activity, which translates into slower battery draining and longer time to enjoy listening your music, without experiencing undesirable pauses or lags.

Pocket Music is a well coded program, with a complex settings menu designed to offer more audio possibilities for your listening experience. I personally noticed that Pocket Music enriches not only the quality of the sound in your earbuds but also the quality of the sound played by your phone’s speaker. And we all know that most of htc phones come with a single stereo headphone with low performances in playing quality sounds. Pocket Music supports most of the common audio formats, like mp3, ogg and wma; there’s also an AAC plugin (iMusic) is available.

Pocket Music Bundle feature list:

• Support for Bluetooth controls and stereo headphones
• One-hand operation optimizations
• Equalizer with presets
• Alarm feature with dedicated settings
• Landscape mode
• HTTP, Shoutcast, Windows network and Icecast streaming
• AAC plugin
