There is something about this new iPhone app, the Tuner2.com that will make it one of the reliable and quality applications available at the Apple app store. It carries the Fraunhofer’s High Efficiency Advanced Audio Codec decoder library, promising better audio quality for iPhone owners.
Modulation Index and Tuner2 have chosen MPEG-4 HE-AACv2 (aka eAAC+) for its ability to deliver high quality stereo at only 32 kbit/s over 3G networks. Fully compatible with the 3GPP and 3GPP2 standards for audio streaming, the Modulation Index iPhone app uses RTP streaming for a more reliable mobile listening experience.
The iPhone app also supports HE-AACv1 and mp3 SHOUTcast as well as Icecast2 streams, instant song purchase, song tagging, album art, shake random station selection, station search, and e-mail/Twitter stream now playing information. Each custom iPhone app has its own dedicated directory service dynamically configurable by the radio network customer.
Available on hundreds of millions of cell phones around the world and streaming about 25 percent of all Internet radio stations, MPEG-4 HE-AACv2 is part of a large family of audio codec libraries available from Fraunhofer IIS for the iPhone Software Development Kit (SDK) and other mobile platforms. Amongst the SDK licensees are radio stations, service providers and media player manufacturers.
Fraunhofer’s audio codec offering for the iPhone SDK also include mp3 & AAC encoders/decoders, as well as MPEG Surround binaural decoders for surround Internet radio on the move or in the rear-seat of a car.

Apple will be unveiling a new operating for the iPhone called the iPhone OS 3.0. Possible new developments could include MMS support, enabling the iPhone to send and receive picture messages, and cut and paste functionality.
Another possibility is improved background functionality, allowing the iPhone to run multiple applications at the same time and provide instant notifications when sites such as Facebook have been updated. The company may also let the iPhone work as a mobile broadband modem for a PC or laptop - known as ‘tethering’.
The company is also expected to release details of a new software development kit (SDK) for its Apps Store – an innovation that was introduced in iPhone OS 2.0.
