Over at 9to5Mac they have received a tip-off that an FM radio application for the iPhone and iPod Touch is being developed by Apple, and it will offer the same functionality as the FM Radio function in the latest generation of iPod Nano’s.
It is believed this FM app will integrate with the iTunes mobile store, and that if you are listening to a radio station which supports tagging then you will be able to check out the details of the song right there on the spot, and even purchase it right there on the go.
Apple’s iPod’s and iPhone’s have been able to receive FM signals for quite some time now, but the function has been left dormant. According to 9to5Mac this isn’t an uncommon thing for Apple to do with their devices. Quite often they will leave technology in their devices dormant until they feel it is right to bring it to life.

i think it is quite redundant and useless to have an FM radio app for iPhone.
they already have lots of music apps and they have an iStore. the tendency would be, if people would start loving the FM radio app and would stick to it, i doubt if they would still love to go back to music players. BUT… that is IF there are STILL people who tune in to FM radio.
