    too bad the only decent station around here is the college station KSJS, which has the broadcasting wattage of about 10 ipod fm transmitters.

    I wouldn't mind a little FM lovin' on my iPod touché. Anyone know how radio battery drainage stacks up against streaming?

    @mildretard:

    battery life will be substantially better.

    anything wifi related is harsh on battery. my little sansa clip will go for about 20-30 hours of low volume fm, and its battery is about 1/8th the size of the ipods.

    Wait - people still listen to FM radio??

    This is one rumor that will be true, because it's another worthless addition to the iphone. Any station worth its salt already has streaming and/or an app to listen to it.

    WHERE IS FLASH YOU BUGGERS?!

    listening over fm will drain less battery than listening to your library.

    Aren't iPods the reason no one wants to listen to FM anymore? It just seems so last century. I don't see Apple doing that at all.

    @vladdybear: They integrated it into the nano, and Apple's been catering to the FM-listening crowd for quite some time (though at a ridiculous premium for a stupid glitchy dongle). They're just as susceptible to backpedaling.

    This sounds great if only to give me access to the audio from the TV's at my gym. They stream the sound using FM transmitters-so I've been left in the auditory dark.

    With nike+, all of the workout apps and a possible FM radio this is turning into the perfect gym gadget.

    @Ben Longo: I use the radio on my Zune all the time at the gym. It comes in very handy. Hopefully this is true, since the hardware is already there in some cases.

    This is good, but it's just a shame that NYC has some of the shittiest FM around. Heck I'd rather listen to the Power Loon in the backwoods of Minnesota. If there was a unicorn I could feed a bowl of mercury to to kill the beast, I'd feed it two.

    Want the same functionality that a Zune has had since Day 1? There's an app for that.

    Correct me if I'm wrong, but don't they consider the current 32GB & 64GB iTouch's 2.5 Gen, and the 8GB is still 2nd Gen?

    Also, does that cozy above say "BLAM" on it?
