The Best FM Tuner Yet for iPod

I've seen some posts on forums by some people saying they don't like it, but I'm in love with the iPod Radio Remote.

I've been waiting a long time for iPods to have radios built in (Walkmans had them in the late 70's), and I'm still waiting... but this is the closest yet.

Apple's Radio Remote is integrated into the headphone assembly (although it plugs into the dock connector instead of the headphone jack). Once it is connected, your iPod's main menu will contain a selection for "Radio". When you select this, you get a display that looks a lot like an analog radio dial!

You can store favorite stations, and tune the radio via the click wheel or the remote. The remote itself looks remarkably similar to the iPods shuffle's click wheel, and sits along the cord running from your iPod to the headphones.

I'd buy one right now (even though it's a little pricey at $49), but first I'd have to sell my 3rd generation iPod and get a nano or a 5G iPod... those are the only iPods with which it will work.
