Earbits is a new 24×7 commercial-free, subscription-free free internet radio service that just launched last Friday. Once it’s fully baked, it’s going to have some really cool artist discovery tools and great utilities for bands who want to get their music heard.

I’ve been involved in the minor capacity of building the actual player used on the website and for embedded players on partner websites. It’s been a nice refresher of using my javascript skills. And now, I’m expanding my role into building the first mobile Earbits app for the iPhone. Since I’ve been trying to learn Ruby on Rails over the past week or so, I decided that I might as well also try and learn Objective-C and that whole mess too.

Keeps life interesting. But here’s the teaser shot taken right after the first time I actually deployed the radio app to my iPhone.

Hope to have a beta version done in a week or so, depending on API availability, and get it into the App Store sometime in September.
