Apple's new iPod Nano is great news for radio – but not for DAB


Apple's new iPod Nano will include a built-in FM receiver that will allow you to pause and rewind live radio, which is great news for the industry, both commercial and the BBC - but puts another question mark against digital audio broadcasting (DAB).

The new range of iPod Nanos, unveiled by Apple yesterday, will also include a tagging device allowing users to tag a song they like and then preview and purchase it when they sync to iTunes. Marvellous.

Having just invested in an iPhone, I have mixed feelings about this innovation. I'm not going to shell out for a Nano as well, although I can download an app allowing me to listen to some - but not all - of my favourite radio stations on my iPhone.
