Sounds a great idea, but these days I listen to my ipod when out and about or play my PSP, which also has music on.
Saying that none have radio, and I do remember how good it was to listen to radio when I would drive home from work (work at home now) Radio 1 was great and I loved the chat, so funny.
I can see some appeal…nice idea.
