Apple gets the extra $50 for selling the external radio, plus the new iPods are already packed to the brim with stuff. I would sacrifice a radio for the features and space.

because imo the iPod is about personalising your music collection, there is nothing personal about a public radio sation, with iPod you choose your music when and what you listen to.
Ok radio is good to get news, but what about TV which everyone now has....

I'd like radio built in. Would be great for the small-capacity Nano because 8GB isn't enough for many people to cover enough music for enough moods...
