Hi Chuck, this is a brilliant description, thanks! As you say,
this could well be worth the twenty bucks in spite of the
limitations because you could pick a station which broadcasts
output from an FM transmitter for example, or your favorite
station which does not stream over the internet, and then leave
it at that.
Cheers,
Grant

Hi All,
I have tested the Griffin iFM Radio Receiver for iPhone and iPod.
Here
is a link:
http://www.amazon.com/Griffin-Radio-Receiver-iPhone-iPod/dp/B003E
RT46W/ref=sr_1_sc_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1338397415&sr=8-1-spell
The good news is that the FM reception and sound quality is
fantastic!
The bad news is that the app is not accessible with voice over at
all,
and I do not see anyway it could ever be.
The device plugs into the bottom of the iPhone which totally
disables
speech. The headset plugs into the bottom of this device.
Under my video magnifier I was able to set up presets and I can
run
the app via memory with voice over off.
The stations are listed in numerical order on the favorites page.
The
main downside is the "Tuner button is in the center of the
screen,
about 1 inch from the top of the phone, and if you hit this
accidentally, you will need to find the "done button on the
bottom
left to return to the favorites page. With no voice over it
would be
difficult for a totally blind user to avoid doing this.
If you are like me and listen to one radio station all the time
then
you are in luck, the app retains the last station listened to, so
all
you would have to do is double tap on the icon and the iFm will
start.
And with voice over on, there is no danger of accidentally
hitting the
tuner button.
IMHO definitely worth the 20 bucks!
Good luck,
Chuck
