The fact that one needs to purchase an $80 dock to play HD VIDEO from the Zune HD was treated as the worst idea ever by all of these Apple fanboys. However, it would appear the fact that adding an $80 dock to play HD radio from the iPod is treated as some blessing from a higher power. You are all laughable baffoons. http://www.rbr.com/radio/18373.html 2009-11-09T11:41:02-06:00 2009-11-09T11:41:02-06:00 Pocket Radio "HD's Killer App Goes Poof!""You’ve probably heard that Apple’s new iPod Nano will have an FM tuner with iTunes tagging built in. Lost in radio’s coverage of the announcement was its impact on HD Radio... Apple’s deal with iBiquity was just a test. They wanted a system that could sell more downloads and trump Rhapsody, and HD was the perfect guinea pig. They already had tagging on the entire iPod line. With the kinks worked out, now all they had to do was add an FM tuner to the iPod. Which they did with the new Nano... Make no mistake. This move was not designed to help radio. It was designed to give iTunes a revenue boost... And HD? Apple knows how many downloads HD generated for iTunes. Maybe that’s why they didn’t bother adding an HD tuner to any of the new iPods."http://tinyurl.com/yklsvt6Wht would Steve Jobs ever pay iBiquity HD chipset and licensing fees for an inferior, power-hungry device. This POS attachment will never sell - who needs it, with streaming Internet Radio stations. http://www.rbr.com/radio/18373.html 2009-11-09T11:47:45-06:00 2009-11-09T11:47:45-06:00 Pocket Radio "Apple announces iPod nano with camera, FM tuner, pedometer""RBR/TVBR observation: At first we thought iTunes Tagging of course meant an FM HD tuner. However, it turns out the iTunes Tagging is based on RDS. This is not a good sign for HD Radio, as they could have incorporated the smaller chipset (read: HD Zune, Best Buy Insignia devices) into the Nano."http://www.rbr.com/media-news/internet/16914.htmlI guess that RBR forgot about their earlier article. Bob Struble will stop at nothing to "push" his product. Meanwhile, Pandora is being "pulled" by listeners into #2 place, behind CBS Radio, for online streaming, and is headed in-dash.
