Electric Pocket has launched its new LobsterTunes for Windows Mobile Pocket PCs. LobsterTunes is a full-featured MP3 player, which allows users to stream music from their home PC media servers, wherever they are. LobsterTunes offers a rich mobile music experience that provides over-the-air access to a music collection stored on a home PC. When launched on the Pocket PC, LobsterTunes immediately goes online via WiFi or 3G and connects to music folders stored on the PC. Users can then browse the music library and build a playlist of the tracks they want to hear.

Unlike some mobile music solutions, LobsterTunes is much more than a streaming music player–it is a full-featured MP3 player. It comes equipped with features expected of any MP3 player, including Shuffle, Repeat and Electric Pocket’s popular QuickMix.
