iPod touch Will the Touch's iTunes Support AAC Radio Streams?

I doubt it, but that is a really good idea - listening to internet radio over the new WiFi functionality.

I would consider that a good function-for a PDA, its obviously not for traditional iPod.

Even if apple doesn't do it, I hope somebody else does it.

Again we'll have to wait, but on the iPhone is the iTunes app very similar to the OS X one?

I just the radio stream I want to play on the Touch and it worked in iTunes. iTunes 6 if I remember did not play it. I gave up trying and ended up using VLC.

The only iTunes functionality on the Touch is connecting to the Music Store. Otherwise it is just like any other iPod.

If someone writes an app to get internet radio, it will work... but Apple didn't port iTunes to the iPod Touch and iPhone, so there won't be any hacks to Apple's software to make it work.

The upshot is that the iPhone was cracked open rather fast, and the Touch will be cracked open even faster. Apps will get written for it (and iPhone-oriented apps should mostly work too), and someone somewhere will probably work on an internet radio app at some point.
