It's a good addition, but when is someone going to come up with a good blue tooth headphone. And, hey, will Apple ever get around to gapless playback? Ever play Dark Side of the Moon on your iPod? "Click" right in the middle of the track change.

Is it really worth spending the money on an ipod? I was thinking about purchasing some kind of mp3 player so I can listen to Glenn Beck's podcasts (they took him off the air in Houston). I was thinking about getting XM radio, but then I thought I could listen to the podcasts instead.

I don't really have a clue what to buy.

Apple would have done better with a satellite radio interface (Sirius or XM). That is more in tune with what the iPod has to offer (such as showing artist and title as song is playing).

I got my iPod to GET AWAY from having to listen to FM radio with all its commercials, yakking DJs and the same old songs over and over again.

Got to give them credit for the chutzpah. Last year I picked up a free pocket FM radio thingy at a street fair from booth of a real estate office. Apple'll charge ya $49 for the same thing, and since it's from Apple, don't expect any discounts, or competition on price.

Apple in its usual manner established a high price point on these MP3 devices that should be selling in the $$ teens range not in the hundreds. And so, the competiion charges a few dollars less but still fairly close to Apple's ridiculous prices. Let's wait for the cheap Chinese knockoffs, likely made as many knockoffs are, by the same factories that produce the branded things and from the same materials.

Would it really kill Apple -- and a lot of companies that make iPod add-ons and radios -- to include AM? I often want to listen to news or a ball game, and those are rarely on FM around here. An FM-only tuner doesn't add much for me.
