Apple is working on a new FM radio app for the iPhone and iPod touch, taking its cue from the wireless it’s just snuck into the new iPod nano. That’s the word from rumour mongers, who reckon it’ll work in the background and have some clever touches to put it ahead of the curve.
9to5mac has received a tip off that Apple is working on an FM iPhone radio app. Apparently though, there’s been a hold up in shoving the add-on onto the cell while Apple looks into a tagging system that’ll let you buy the songs you hear from iTunes.
