iPod Whats the point of an FM tuner?

Sometimes, people enjoy music besides their music. They want to listen to other things, or just want to listen to a type of music that isn't on their iPod.

Yep, broaden one's horizons if you will.

It's extremely unlikely you'll ever see an AM tuner in an iPod because they usually need cheap internal bulky ferrite rod antennae, unscreened by any metal.

Why can't I get shortwave on my iPod, that's what I want to know.

I can buy a FM tuner to attach to an iPod - but what would be more useful would be an AM tuner.

I already have music, but sometimes I need news.
