There is an ipod fm tuner-remote that has been available since 2006. Unfortunately no one is buying it, and ipod users are not making much noise for its full integration into the ipod family (iphone included). Zune and sandisk have fm tuners, but not many people are jumping ship so that they get their FM fix. Why would you listen o FM anyway when you can have thousands of songs with no commercials.
http://www.engadget.com/2006/01/10/apple-ipod-radio-remote-adds-fm-to-ip ods/ Apple has an official FM tuner for the iPod already. if you have an iPod nano or an iPod that supports video, you can "listen to FM radio on your iPod and control everything with a convenient wired remote. You also get a set of earphones with a shorter cable that's a perfect fit for the remote." All this for only $49. Plus, it's integrated with the iPod's built-in software (check your Settings to see the hidden functionality) and doesn't require any batteries because it's powered by the iPod Sanga M.
