In-house Radio.app in the works for iPhone and iPod touch
9 to 5 Mac - Apple Intelligence —
We've just received a tip that an iPhone radio.app is being developed in-house by Apple for use on the iPhone and iPod touch. From what we know, the app will be allowed to operate in the background like iPod.app and will offer the same functionality as the FM radio in the new iPod Nanos. The source mentioned that this application could also be incorporated into the iPod.app before release.
The holdup on this app is that Apple is trying to integrate the Mobile iTunes Store purchases into the functionality of the program. For instance, if you like a song you are listening to on the radio ...
Rumor: Apple Unlocking iPhone and iPod Touch's Latent FM Powers With Radio App [Rumor]
Gizmodo —
9to5Mac hears that the iPhone and iPod touch are getting a radio app like the nano's that'll be able play FM radio in the background. It'll be integrated with the iTunes store, supposedly, so you can buy songs you like. The hardware capability for FM radio does exists in some models—the current iPod touch and iPhone 3GS have FM transmitters, and the 2nd-gen iPod touch also has a chip that's capable of receiving FM signals, though it uses it for Nike+ stuff (so if there is a radio app, maybe it'll just be for current-gen models). It'd make sense to add ...

News: Mix: iTunesLP.net, FM app, SmartStart, KoalaKase
iLounge | All Things iPod, iPhone, iTunes and beyond —
A new website has sprung up called iTunesLP.net , offering tutorials on how to create iTunes LP files for albums that Apple doesn’t offer in the new format, as well as an area offering downloadable iTunes LP files—at the moment, only the Leopold Stokowski with the Philadelphia Orchestra soundtrack to Fantasia is available. On the About page, the team behind the site explains, “At this moment these iTunes LPs are available for a select list of new releases on the iTunes store. However we think it would be nice to have many older, out-of-print, obscure albums or albums on indie-labels to get the same experience; and with ...

FM Radio in iPhone/iPod Touch?
Mac Soda —
... So says Seth Weintraub, and based on a few chats with him and others, its pretty certainly legit. The question I asked was “Since when is there an FM Tuner in my phone?”. Apparently its been there since the first iPhone, just never utilized by Apple with no APIs supporting it. My guess is we’ll see this nice software update at the next event, perhaps with new iMacs/MacBooks/Keyboards. But that’s just my guess… ...

Apple soon to activate ‘hidden’ FM radio in iPhone and iPod Touch?
APC —
It’s no secret that the iPod Touch is capable of more than Apple lets on – or rather, more than Apple will let the device do. Last month a ‘teardown’ of the third-gen iPod Touch by iFixit revealed the presence of a Broadcom wireless chip which packs an FM receiver and FM transmitter (along with 5GHz 802.11n Wi-Fi). A refresh of the iPod Nano, released at the same time as the new Touch, added an FM radio along with support for ‘live pause’ and iTunes Tagging. The former permits the user to pause a live FM broadcast and record the incoming stream onto the Nano’s flash memory for up to 15 minutes. Users can ‘rewind’ the ...
