Remote-control functionality will be welcomed by joggers and commuters alike. Radio is easy to set up and we cant criticise the lack of an AM option – no manufacturers seem to bother with this these days. We werent convinced by the headphones or the...

One of the most requested features of the iPod, and a popular one on competing MP3 players, is a radio. Apple has elected to go for an external addition to the iPod rather than just adding a radio feature to the latest models. The Apple iPod Radio Remo...

Adds a feature that should have been in all iPods; integrated well with the iPod.
RDS is flaky; only works with newest iPods; no record feature.
I had a mixed reaction to the iPod Radio Remote. It should work quite elegantly as the software is well designed, however, it was unreliable when it came to displaying RDS data on what channel youre tuned to. Its also disappointing that it isnt com...

One of the major criticisms of Apples popular iPod is that it doesnt offer the range of extra features that many other MP3s include as standard. Instead of correcting this by adding it to the iPods feature list, Apple has decided to release yet anoth...

It’s not perfect, but the small, compact and easy to use iPod Radio Remote is a handy accessory. The ability to connect two headphone jacks while listening is an excellent feature as well.

There are other FM tuners available for other iPods, including DLO?s mini fm (for the mini only) and Griffin Technology?s iFM (models available for all dockable iPods). The Apple product, though, is the first to directly integrate the tuner?s controls...

FM, fine - but forget about ball games. The tiny iPod Radio Remote adds FM reception to your iPod nano or video-capable iPod. Bundled with standard earbuds attached to a shorter cable, the remote clips to your shirt, pocket, or whatever. When you pl...

Easy-to-use. Favorite-station capability. RDS display on iPod. Needs no batteries.
Iffy reception on weaker stations. No AM mode. Only comes in white.
The Radio Remote is elegant and easy to use, but we expected better reception for 50 bucks.

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...

Detractors and owners alike have complained for years about the iPods lack of integrated FM, especially since so many other players have the feature. The new Apple iPod Radio Remote offers a good compromise by taking a significantly different approa...

Compact. Good reception. Easy to use.
Doesnt come in black.
Apple seems unlikely to ever build an FM tuner into the iPod, so this is the next best thing...

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.

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.
If you own a 5G iPod or an iPod Nano and cant live without FM radio, we highly recommend the Apple iPod Radio Remote.
