FM DockRadio is a radio for your dock

We're still not totally convinced this isn't just some joke gone too far, but given the fact that they're accepting PayPal payments as we speak, we're going to have to go with "scarily real." The FM DockRadio is simply an FM radio for your Bose SoundDock. Obviously the iPod doesn't have an FM radio tuner, so the need is there, but we're guessing the $89+ cost isn't going to fly for something as incredibly janky and featureless as this. Especially when we could just go out and buy a Coby for twenty five cents at Costco -- which plays CDs and keeps you warm.

Bahahahha they could have at least made it look nice for $89 bucks.

I love my Creative Zen Vision:M. At least it comes with an FM radio! It can record off the radio as well. Plus it has voice recording and divx support. All stuff the ipod doesn't have.

maybe if it was xm radio

Most of these docks are useless w/o an iPod, and Apple does make and charge a premium for an inline FM receiver. Too bad this isn't a better design and a better price. There's reasons why you can't have AM in this thing, but an FMpOd is a cool idea.

Eh maybe for 5 bucks. I hate the radio though, so I would never buy it.

I'm getting one.
Never settle for any sound other than the Bose sound. Rule of thumb.

Honestly man? if it blows it must be bose. Any self respecting audiophile knows bose well... sucks!

I hope that was sarcastic.

Since I have replace the my old stereo with an ipod + sounddock, the radio is something we miss.
Also I cheked the price and it's $49 and not $89!
I'm getting one...

This *could* sell, IF they made the case solid looking (metal or metal looking), add a nicer looking LCD, and charge $29. Then they would probably sell a bunch of these. Most people aren't going to pay $49 for a janky-looking radio though, no matter what it plugs into.

The suckers that pay for Bose are the same suckers that will pay $90 for a crappy looking FM tuner. Too bad it's Bose and ugly and expensive tho- it would be a cool idea for a universal iPod dock FM radio.

seems like a great idea, but they fucked it up with that price point, must have a patent or somehting

I prefer the Anycom piece that works with all iPOD docking station and lets me convert my iPOD docking station into a stereo Bluetooth station so I can play music from my phone through the speakers. It costs $39.99 at http://nextelonline.nextel.com/NASApp/onlinestore/en/Action/OSBrowseAccessoriesDetail?categoryRefName=Music+%26+Personalization&PHONE_ID=LG550KIT&selectedAccessoryID=ESX2692R
