Among the announcements Apple made on Wednesday was the inclusion of an FM tuner in its nano model. The tuner includes a live-pause function and iTunes Tagging.
Radio execs have been lobbying Apple for such consideration for years, and the move represents a major lifeline thrown to the struggling industry by one of its main competitors. Previosly Microsoft's Zune added HD Radio as a built-in feature.
Emmis CEO Jeff Smulyan told Inside Radio magazine that he hopes the moves by Apple and Microsoft will lead mobile phone makers to routinely add FM tuners to more of their products.
