The Griffin Technology 9125-IFM30 iFM Radio, Remote and Recorder for iPod gives your iPod FM-radio tuning capability and a remote control functionality. Just flip a switch to choose between FM and remote control modes on this handy, slim device. The remote mode is great for workouts, biking, or hiking, giving you play, pause, fast forward, rewind, next song, previous song, and volume functions, along with a nifty equalization toggle to stabilize the sound of your tunes. If you’d like to listen to your iPod on the radio, the iFM’s digital auto station scan with wraparound, and six station presets make it easy for you to find a station with minimal static. If you find yourself overseas, you’ll enjoy the band-switch function, which enables alternation between US, European, and Japanese FM bands. But no matter where you are, the integrated white LCD backlit lets the iFM’s quality shine through.

works well on ipod touch (1st gen)

Too many complaints for one good title

Don’t see the point
I bought the iFM to use with my new Nano. The only relationship it has with the Ipod is to use it for power.

I don’t own this…but consider these other options
I have both an iPod Nano and Sandisk Sansa e250. If you don’t already own an iPod but is thinking of getting one along with this iFM Radio, consider this:
