An iPhone With FM Radio? Yes Please!

From InfoWorld: Apple is developing an in-house iPhone and iPod Touch radio application, which will enable users to listen to FM radio on their existing devices, according to sources quoted by 9to5Mac.

The iPhone 3G/3GS and the latest iPod Touch are able to receive FM radio signals, but Apple uses this functionality only to implement the Nike+ feature on these devices.

However, 9to5Mac is reporting that Apple is set to unleash the FM radio capabilities in the latest iPhone and iPod touch devices, with a radio app that will offer similar functionality to the radio tuner found on the latest iPod nano.

The iPhone radio app is said to be able to operate in the background, like the iPod app, but it is yet unclear whether this will be incorporated into the iPod app before release or it will come as a standalone application.
