Yeah, the fact that most mobile devices these days lack radio functionality is something that's always baffled me, especially now that some phones are being equipped with TV tuners.
- Timothee 17y agoI think the thing is that a lot of the media has turned to on-demand through DVRs, hulu.com, podcasts, etc. Also, there's probably a part where FM tuners don't sound new enough for it to be worth being included. Kind of like having an iPhone with new telegraph functionality!
- buugs 17y agoI was very upset when my iriver h140 stopped working it wasn't much more bulky than an ipod and had radio, ogg and flac compatibility and I could use it to record tapes and records with its optical line in something no other player on the market at this time had done and to this time I don't know if anything has changed.
- jrg 17y agoThe experience of listening to FM radio on a portable radio with a small aerial, is not good. I tried once, with my then phone's FM radio, to listen to my usual BBC station on my 25 minute commute train journey. I gave up (too many tunnels, bridges, cuttings, with poor or no signal), and went back to my MP3s. I certainly wouldn't want to try TV!
