iPhone and iPod touch radio app with iTunes store integration on the horizon?

We know what you're thinking, how dare that new iPod nano have features your premium iPhone and iPod touch handhelds don't? Well, if this 9 to 5 Mac rumor has any merit, Apple is right there with you and has a solution in the works. According to said whispers, a Radio app is in the works to capitalize on the recent models' latent FM tuner. It'll either be standalone or integrated into the iPod app, and either way it'll be able to work in the background while you browse other, not so fortunate apps. The apparent cause for delay is work on a feature that'll identify the songs and link you to the appropriate iTunes page for purchase. As always, this is just a rumor, so do yourself a favor and try not to dwell on it too much, k?

They actually added an FM radio to an iphone/touch! I never thought it was even possible
I mean, my 7-year old nokia 7210 had FM radio, but this is crazy!
Bravo apple! you have once again revolutionized the mobile phone industry!

Rumor moguls nowadays are getting desperate. First we heard of a camera for the ipod touch and now a radio. Next we will hear of hidden cell phone capabilities with any service provider for the ipod touch unless the nano gets it first.
