De Missing Link ?
Nu is er helemaal _geen_ reden meer om geen ipod te kopen als je een mp3 player wilt hebben. Met deze add-on is het dus ook (apple branded) radio te beluisteren. Met geintegreerde tuner display. WOW... maar zou die er ook in het zwart zijn ?

Apple Remote Radio : "Philippe ordered his iPod Remote Radio the same day it was announced and he received it this morning. Here is his short review.
Like always, nice packaging. Pluging the remote adds a Radio line on the iPod menu (5G and nano). Frequency selection is done using the wheel (great precision) or using the left/right arrows (on the iPod and on the remote) for station hopping. The display uses RDS (where available).
In the iPod Settings menu, there is a new line to select your region (USA, Japan or Europe), relating to different FM bands.
The back of the Remote is made of great looking brushed aluminum and sports a clip.
The remote plugs in the iPod dock connector which means you can use the standard audio connector to plug a second pair of headphones.
The test was done on a 5G iPod and, yes, using your GSM close to the remote tends to mess things up and randomly change station or volume (!)
It is possible to store a station by clicking on the centre button (same way to remove it). You can then jump between stored stations using the RW/FF buttons.
