Apple's new generation iPhone is open to use with a myriad of applications thanks to the debut of the App Store. Among the software available for download is an AOL Radio application.
iPhoneAtlas.com reports: "AOL’s Radio App for the iPhone and iPod touch is a native streaming application that is also location aware...When a call is received while audio is streaming in AOL Radio, the music fades and your call rings through. If you decline to answer AOL Radio starts up where it left off with out a hitch."

What Ever Happened to the Radio Hat?
I suppose this is really an honorary entry on the list since it's not from this year.
While surfing around I came across this fun old magazine cover from a 1949 edition of Radio Electronics. It features what's described as a "Radio Hat" comprised of a two-tube, battery operated radio. (See photo above.)
What a great idea. I only wish I had some to give as Christmas gifts.
