I agree there is a ton of garbage in the airwaves. I do remmember a time though during the recent blackout that it would have been great having a radio. I had left work and was literally in the dark about what was happening.
Things I considered if I had an ipod then...
1) No radio... No info on what to do.
2) Battery life shrinking as I walk, and walk.. home. Ugh! Blackout.. Can't charge it. Dohhh!
3) At that time no recording ability to voice what I saw and I was going through for posterity...:(
4) Confused ipod for used soap while showering in dark to stay cool on hot muggy night.
PS: No one wants to carry a radio and a mp3 player.
