Hi, I don't own an iPhone yet (or the iPod touch), but from my understanding, there is no way currently to stream to the iPhone, there are some streaming applications if you have a "hacked" iPhone. For example;

Although as I haven't used any of these apps I can't comment on how good they are.

Yea it seems that streaming content over the iPhone is limited by the contract that AT&T and Apple have due to RIAA restrictions on both of them. This apparently is going to be loosened next month with the release iPhone 2.0 firmware, where you can stream over WiFi connections but not Edge/3G.
Same sort of reason you have to buy songs you already own as a ringtone (yes I know about the 3rd party apps that do it, but it's the only official way.) It turns out that RIAA considers Ringtones to be a "public performance" and requires a different licenses.

I'm not sure weather if you could make something in the developer software??? (Possibility – although doubtful?) Though I have read a rumour that AOL were going to do internet radio on the iPhone. But I don't think that helps with listening to Subsonic radio as it seemed to depend on your GPS location.
More info of the AOL rumour is available at

Just FYI everyone that FlyTunes has changed a lot since then. It seems like they've dropped SR, at least from the Edge stations

I kind of found an answer. Iradio app for the jailbroken touch/phones out there does indeed include SR in the shoutcast list and does work....just FYI
