iPhone and FM Radio

Today’s mobile phones are not just phones, they are much more! The iPhone is certainly a lot more than a basic cell phone. It is a phone, an MP3 player, a digital camera, a video capture device, a gaming device, a GPS device to name a few. It’s basically a cool multimedia communication tool.

This miracle device has everything but an FM radio. Long before all this technology, people listened to their radios and portable transistors, followed by those big boom-boxes. Then came the little Sony Walkman, and people got used to listening to their audio without disturbing those around, and these were easy to take to all places like the mall, the beach etc. Gone were the days of carrying those boom boxes around. Small was good, and so was the personal device.  The radio still continues to have a big following, in spite of CDs and MP3 players.

Why not have a FM radio on the iPhone. We carry it everywhere; hook the car stereo to it too, so why not have radio on the iPhone! Guess the users for this might not be as many.
