In church today, I realized that this year (next week!), I'll be able to listen to LDS General Conference in my yard, or car, or just about anywhere using my own iPhone app, ooTunes Radio! I thought, "hey there are probably lots of others who would like that too!", hence this blog. Since my app costs $4 (and does a lot more ... see Live Radio on iPhone and iPod Touch) but since I don't want to profiteer from General Conference, the first 40 people who leave a comment below telling who you look forward to hearing from most and why you'll want to listen to the 179th Annual General Conference April 4-5 2009 from your iPhone or iPod touch, will get a free "promotion code" that gives you the app for free. Unfortunately, Apple only gives me a set number of these codes (50 to be exact), they expire within 4 weeks (don't ask if you don't have an iPhone or iPod touch or don't plan to use it!) and they ONLY work for those with a US iTunes account (sorry! I know over half of the members are excluded by that alone!)
Also, you'll have to provide me with an email address somehow for me to be able to give the code to you, so the easiest way is for you to send me a message here. with a link to your comment or your name/blogger id and email so I know how to send it to you!
If the demand is overwhelming, I may try to give the app away for a short time for everyone else, but the problem with that is a) I lose my ranking in the for-sale apps and b) I have potentially a lot more customers to support with no payment for that.
But we'll see, maybe only 40 people care and the app is only $4.
Also, I should note that there is at least one app for free that can do the same thing, called FStream so if you don't get a free one from me, you can still listen for free with that!
Thanks and tell your friends!
Steve
P.S. If I didn't think of this so late, I would have created a free version that just does general conference! Maybe in October :)

Sure, OK. I sent a message to your email.
I look forward to hearing from Elder Oaks--I like the order and logic of his talks. I will use the iPhone because we recently dropped our cable TV.
I look forward to listening to conference on my iPhone as I rock my fussy baby to sleep! I love to hear President Uchtdorf's talks with snippits of his past experiences related to gospel living today.
Thanks!
Jeffery R. Holland, of course.
This is a GREAT idea. I'm looking forward to Elder Holland. His talks seem to really hit me. The last two conferences, he articulated many of the LDS beliefs in a clear, concise and non-apologetic manner. I'm really excited to see what topics we'll be "warned" about...
Elder Bednar always touches my soul
This app could really come in handy if I have to go in to work this weekend (like I usually do).
I often like L Tom Perry's talks. I plan on listening to some of conference while at my drafting table at school working on a mindlessly tedious model.
I'm looking forward to talks from the first presidency especially...love those guys. I'll be traveling back from NYC to Cleveland on Sunday and would really like to listen in the car.
I especially enjoy hearing from Elder Bednar. I really enjoyed this talks on prayer over the past few conferences.
President Monson. Elder Todd Christopherson. Elder Eyring. Elder Bednar. Elder Oaks. Elder Holland. Elder Uchtdorff. Elder Ballard. I love to listen to ALL of them!!!
And, I'm really interested in technology and am intrigued how this application will work on my iPhone.
Nina, send me message at the contact link above so I can send you the code!
I look forward to listening to conference on my iphone because I have to work at the time. Please send me link :)
I want to hear Pres. Monson announce the new member of the Quorum of the Twelve. I'll be at kids soccer games on Saturday so I'm hoping to be able to stream the morning session.
I always look forward to hearing President Eyring, although he makes me feel like I need about 10 more years of schooling. (he is just so intelligent!!!)
I'm anxious to hear what topic Elder Bednar talks about, his last two on prayer are very inspiring.
Beyond President Monson, whom I always love to hear from, I look forward to the talks from President Eyring and Elder Holland. They have been favorites of mine since my mission. Thanks for a great app!
We just got the Ipod Touch a couple days ago, so I know this is last minute right before conference, but having a 2 year old and living in NH where we are using the internet to listen my wife would like the ability to listen while monitoring all that a 2 year old loves to do. What are we looking forward to? ... just hearing as much as we can. It is always nice to hear from the prophet.
I look forward to elder Bednar. He is my favorite!
I am looking forward to listening to conference on my iphone as well since we are unable to get it on tv out here in Tennessee.
This looks really great! I've been hoping someone would do this.
I love the first talk of the first session. They always seem to bring a big hitter to open the game.
Is it too late to get a promo code? I've used FStream, but the only GC stream I can find on there is KSL and the quality is poor.
I'd like to get a promo code too. I'm looking forward to another good Bednar metaphor/analogy!
I am in my yard working when my iPhone alarm goes off about conference. A few minutes later I'm at your blog and hopefully can use your app to listen to the rest of it. Prayer answered. Thanks Steve!
App looks great! I'd love a promo code.

I love listening to President Monson he always has the best stories and you can tell he truely cares for us. It would be awesome to listen to conference only iPhone because I take it everywhere and can listen to conference anywhere. Thanks, Bo
I am looking forward to hearing from Pres. Monson of course but also Elder Bednar.

I was sitting in my Mom's hospital room wishing I could use my 2 week old iPhone to listen to/watch General Conference. A quick Google search brought me to your blog. This is will help a lot of people like me who just can't be somewhere I can hear it live. Thank you.
who better to hear from than the prophet, President Monson?
Would love to have the option of watching GC on my iphone. The first app I downloaded was the LDS scriptures. Thank you for developing such a useful tool!
I always look forward to Richard Scott and Elder Bednar. I am new to the iPhone, lice in the Midwest and would love to hear conference in my car.
I look forward to hearing from President Monson. I love hearing him speak. And lately I am reminded of his ear wiggle in the priesthood session :) I would love to hear conference in my yard!
I love watching the Prophet walk out, waving to the audience :)
Tomorrow is supposed to be beautiful outside. I'd rather be in my hammock. Also, I'm looking forward to getting to know some of the newer apostles.
I want to hear from our newest apostle, it's always fun to hear a new voice.
This sucks:/ I needed to listen to to conference in spanish through my itouch using 00tunes and it didn't work for live stream. So disappointed:(
rave82000, I'm sorry to hear that :( Please send me an email or bug report from the app or here: http://help.ootunes.com/contact with a) what OS you are running on the itouch, which stream(s) you tried and what happened when you tried. Also, if you have a paypal account, send it to me and I'll be happy to refund your money.
