    You do know that iPhone is missing necessary hardware?
    There is a reason why iPhone doesn't wash your dirty clothes and doesn't cook for you. It was not designed to do it.
    The same thing applies to FM radio.

    Yes, the hardware isnt in the iPhone but what stops apple or some hardware genius to make a FM receiver and put it where the connector is? Someone did the same thing for GPS so... why not for radio?

    LOL! Yes. But that's why the iPhone doubles as an iPod...
    If you really want to listen to the radio, go to your closest electrical store and buy a $10 mini FM tuner...

    You could say that about that dude that made the plug in GPS... some people like things to be all in one.

    Anyways, personally I dont care about this FM tuner thing, there were some people I feel were writing quite harsh comments.

    Also, I would love it if someone could make an app that makes a hardware d-pad and two buttons appear, next to the home buttom. It would be great for gaming!

    Oh, and I don't know if this can be done, but if someone could program a slide-out qwerty keyboard, that would also be great!


    Thanks!

    I don't know if this was supposed to be rude through the use of irony, as you are severely lacking in the levels of blatancy required. However someone has designed hardware for the iPhone that adds gaming controls. Looks like you just owned yourself.
