4.0 out of 5 stars Great radio reception but drains battery, July 23, 2007

By	S. Dunning "sdunnin" (Edwardsville, il USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Radio works well, easy to use, reasonable price and has good reception. Also comes with a set of earbuds.

All you have to do is plug this baby in and you get a radio option on the main menu. When in radio mode you can set station presets easily and if the station you are listening to supports RDS you will see the song information displayed.

There are a couple minor complaints with it worth mentioning. First you cannot charge your ipod while listening to the radio as the radio plugs into the dock connector. Second, it really drains battery life. I haven't done any formal testing but my non-scientific observation would put battery drain at 2x or greater of normal music listening usage .

4.0 out of 5 stars Good product, though a bit pricey, July 18, 2007

By	Mark R. Zembrzuski "Technological Savant" (Madison, WI) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Radio functions are really handy to have, though I've discovered I use it more as a remote control for my iPod.

The volume control on the remote has proven to be very handy for when playing Mahjongg.

Radio features are minimal, but I can't think of what features would add more usefulness.

$50, though? It's a bit steep, but then again, so is the price of an 80G iPod. Certainly a toy marked to those who can afford the expensive toys.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great little product, May 16, 2007

By	april (usa) - See all my reviews

Great little product and seems to be designed well. I bought a knock off on e-bay and then found out that it was not the same. Don't buy a knock off spend the extra money to buy the real thing. You can even go to e-bay and get it for about $40.00.

It also has great reception and nice radio features.
