Yes, the FM tuner is especially useful when I hear a song on the radio and want to know more about it (some MP3 players will let you know the song name and artist) and having greater compatibility is never a bad thing.
Still, this doesn't look like something I'd want to buy.
32GB iPod Touch is €469, the 8GB is €289 (in France where the €299 price of the T80 was reported). At €10 more for half the storage it seems pricey, but if you're getting content OTA it really isn't that bad.
I guess it'd be better to get the price in the Netherlands, which is €10 less than France. Therefore the T80 is €20 more, but still, if you get content over the air, something not possible for free on the iPod Touch, storage is less of an issue.

Is this a joke? For that price you can get a 32gb iPod Touch... minus WMA and FM tuner of course- but does anyone seriously use those even?

"but if you're getting content OTA it really isn't that bad"
umm you do realize that there are much cheaper non-touchscreen PMPs that probably do a much better job at everything

That's just the way things are headed, and it's about time....
