Apple’s introduction of a sophisticated FM radio tuner within the iPod nano is being hailed by the radio industry as potentially re-igniting interest in the format among younger ears – and is being welcomed by consumers as one of the most attractive features of the latest version of the world’s biggest-selling player. The iPod nano also offers a video camera and more, but the FM radio is definitely a leading feature for new music-hungry consumers, according to a US/UK survey from the Radio Research division of Vision Critical.
