The editors liked

  • The Apple iPod Radio Remote adds FM functionality to dock-connecting iPods and takes the bulk off the design by using the iPods display for tuner info. The accessory also utilizes the iPods Click Wheel to offer handy radio dial-like functionality.
  • Easy-to-use. Favorite-station capability. RDS display on iPod. Needs no batteries.
  • Compact. Good reception. Easy to use.

The editors didn't like

  • The Apple iPod Radio Remote plus headphones equals cord clutter. Because the remote plugs into the dock connection
  • It wont work with many iPod cases. Unfortunately
  • Its also compatible with only the 5G iPod and the iPod Nano.
  • Iffy reception on weaker stations. No AM mode. Only comes in white.
  • Doesnt come in black.

  • Abstract:  Many MP3 players have built-in FM tuners, but not the iPod. That’s one thing it’s been criticized for, but Apple apparently has no plans to build in such a feature. The company’s US$49 iPod Radio Remote is designed to address the situati...

  • If you own a 5G iPod or an iPod Nano and cant live without FM radio, we highly recommend the Apple iPod Radio Remote. Price range: $49.99 - $59.99
