Radio...Radio...FM AND AM!!!! Yes...AM for news/sports & FM for music.
Mr. Jobs, are you listening?
Well, maybe Sony will have something for us. (Radio add-on on the PSP???)
I think the biggest problems are the strict regulations in North America. It's good that they are protecting us comsumers. On the other hand, we don't get to buy the latest and greatest "toys" from Japan. For example, the new Toyota MR2 is not available in Canada because of our higher crash-test standard (the front bumper fails).
Also, rediculous lawsuits here do scare a lot of companies.
It's true that Japaneses are beta-testing for us but products over here are "less-exciting" (things are overly-regulated).
Just my 2 cents.
Yes, I do consider radio is as important as the POTS. During last year's Black-Out, they were about the only things that worked.
Radio stations kept people informed when nothing else did during that time. Trust me, it is a "life-saving" feature for some people (of course, in a different sense).
Too bad...there is still no radio on the new iPod. I refuse to buy any portable music device without built-in radio.
Remember the black out from last year? I think AM/FM is a must-have life-saving feature. Mr. Job, are you listening?
I wonder how many of you agree?
