Apple® Unveils iPod® Radio Remote; Adds FM to iPods and More

Apple® has announced the iPod® Radio Remote which combines a wired remote control with new FM radio capabilities for the iPod nano and fifth generation iPod. The iPod Radio Remote allows users to skip tracks and adjust the volume of their iPod even when it’s in a pocket or backpack, and listen to FM radio stations while displaying station and song information on their iPod screen.

“The iPod Radio Remote combines two great features in one elegant product,” said Greg Joswiak, Apple’s vice president of Worldwide iPod Product Marketing. “The iPod Radio Remote is both the best remote control and the best FM radio listening experience for iPod.”

The iPod Radio Remote includes a pair of Apple headphones with a shorter cable and will begin shipping immediately for $49 (US). The iPod displays station and song information for stations that support the Radio Data System (RDS).
