Apple today announced the iPod Radio Remote, which combines the convenience of a wired remote control with new FM radio capabilities for the iPod nano and fifth generation iPod. “The iPod Radio Remote is a convenient way for music lovers to skip tracks and adjust the volume of their iPod even when it’s in a pocket or backpack, and listen to FM radio stations while displaying station and song information on their iPod screen.” The iPod Radio Remote includes a pair of Apple headphones with a shorter cable, complementing the iPod Radio Remote, and will begin shipping immediately for US$49.
