Pandora, Slacker, Spotify, Google Music...these are just a few of your many options out there to stream music to your ears wherever there is an internet connection. Grooveshark is just another player to add to that list of services...or is it? I've been an avid user of Pandora with some Slacker thrown in there for good measure. The second I received an invite I registered for Google Music and

I know many of you out there are thinking "Man, I love having a jailbroken iPhone/iPod/iPad but I hate having to keep updating it and then re-jailbreaking it over and over." So we often just sit and wait on one iOS through a few updates and then update to the latest one and jailbreak. I'm currently on 4.2.1 (jailbroken) on my iPhone 4 and 4.3.2 is out (with 4.3.3 on the horizon). So I did a
