It seems like apple was waiting for programming to allowed users to select the song that is being played on the radio and download it from iTunes.

I listened to radio a lot. But on the other hand, I doubt tagging works for me as it would be a local Chinese radio station and I don’t think it has anyway of digital tagging its radio songs

But I do look forward to this app a lot !! :)

I’d also be willing to bet that, if marketed properly, they would also be receptive to those Nike+ ped-counters in their boots.

In fact, we’re getting him one of the new Nanos for those exact features.

I’d like to have simple radio. I’m mostly NPR listener and I don’t particularly care about song recognition. Also, it’s a *simple* old technology. I’ve been upset with Apple for not making it available because it seems like they just don’t want to. FM radio was the single most wanted feature on ipods for a long time.

Does this mean that the 3G, or even the original model, has it? I, like walkerp, listen to the CBC a lot, and it would also be nice to listen to local traffic before I get in the car and immediately commit to a route home. There are, of course, ways to do both of these without a Radio app, but it would be a convenient and welcome addition, just like the Remote.

I use a Nokia N82, really cool phone, and i use the radio on the way to and from work each day. The other item this phone has is a fab 5mp camera with xeon flash. I have had this phone for 1.7+ years and normally I have a new one every few months, but it has everything EXCEPT the interface. S60 is dreadful. I have played with a SE Satio and the interface is as bad. The iPhones interface is the dogs…, so if they release an iPhone app I will be abel to move.

I think what some may be missing is that this would be an additional feature that doesn’t exclude any current capability. I have a small FM radio that I travel with so I can find out about the events occurring at my destination. Although I have plenty of podcasts and music, only local radio can inform me of local events.
