why didnt them ipods come with radios???? such a classic thing to come with a music player, nano and classic are excused, but sumthing like the touch?... im ashamed at apple, getting the ipod classic 80GB silver
 
Because

Here

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.
 
Why get an iPod to listen to radio? Thats what i get a 10 dollar crappy radio for.

I get an iPod for my iTunes. Radio is for the car

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...
