  • All Radio: The 59p Application which brings International Radio, to iPhone and iPod.

    [Update] – App Store link fixed.

    Ever since the iPod’s introduction, the one feature missing was radio.

    With the certainty of Apple holding a special event sometime in late September, discussion has now shifted towards what might be added to the iPod product line, to get it ready for the holiday season.

    In a claim by iDealsChina, the people responsible for leaking an accurate factory-state mold of iPhone 3G before it’s release, they now claim to have ‘insider’ information from employees and designers who are involved in designing the iPod touch and iPod nano, that Apple’s second generation of their iPod touch line will introduce GPS. If true this will mean iPod touch will be the first and only iPod, to incorporate a GPS chip …
