Teodor Filimon, a fellow Google Desktop gadget developer and API Guru has recently released a really great new gadget.

The "Web TV and Radio" gadget does exactly that. It allows you to easily watch your favorite web TV and radio stations. It features a very slim interface which gives you as much space as possible for your viewing pleasure. All controls are just visible when you hover over the viewing area and automatically hide when you watch your show. You can even use it as a media player for your local movie and audio files and watch them on your desktop (while working ;). As a great additional service there is a channels database which gets updated from time to time so you can check out new and exciting channels which other users like. You can, of course, add your own channels too!
