What A rip of the Creative Zen Touch Remote , It has A MIC , Controls the Mp3 player has FM reception and has a screen , so the player can be hidden out of view. All that for $50Apple BlowsNo Digg
I'm gonna buy it for the ability to display RDS alone. No other portable FM radio in the 50$ price range does this that I can find. I need to be able to check RDS for my job as a radio engineer. Dugg.
the thing is, how will it work?the thing says it needs firmware version 1.1and both the nano and the iPod have version 1.0 for nowso im wondering does it work with the current firmware or does it noti have the ipod camera connector and it wont worki have a camera on the list that says it should work but it dosenti am waiting for a new firmware updateanyone with any leads as to when one will come out?
It's funny since Creative had FM tuners BUILT IN since some of their first players were released. Apple kept ragging on it, saying FM Tuners weren't needed, then go and release this 3 years too late and at an added price.But hey, it's Apple, they'll make it hip and make it so everyone must have one.
