A le brings FM radio to the iPod

No, it's notas sexy as the iMac and MacBook Pro (I'm still not thrilledabout that name), but today A le a ounced the availability of the Radio Remote, which adds FM radio to the iPod nano and iPod withvideo.

When co ected to your iPod, a "radio" menu option becomes available. When selected, you'represented with an interface that looks like an analog radio dial. Search for a station within the range of 87.5MHz to107.9MHz (US and Europe) or 76MHz to 90MHz (Japan). Also, you can save favorite cha els for future reference and movefrom station to station with either your iPod's clickwheel or the wired remote.

My feeling on this is"eh." The interface looks pretty cool, but I would have been ha ier had it su orted satelliteradio. The Radio Remote costs $49.00, works with the iPod with video and iPod nano and is shi ing now.
