[iPhone and iPod Touch] Apple Believed To Be Working on FM Radio App

As per 9to5Mac, Apple is believed to be working on a FM Radio App which will provide the same functionality as the FM radio included in Apple’s new iPod Nano.

The holdup on this app is that Apple is trying to integrate the Mobile iTunes Store purchases into the functionality of the program. For instance, if you like a song you are listening to on the radio (and that station supports tagging and you are in the US), you will be able to push a button and see the song (and all of the information around it) in the iTunes Mobile store. With another click, you’ll be able to make a purchase. This is an extension of the Song Tagging feature used in the iPod Nanos.

While this definitely sounds exciting, there is no word on the ETA for this app. I am also excited about the fact that Apple is slowly waking up the hardware that resides inside the iPod / iPhone. First it was the Bluetooth in the 2nd Gen iPod Touch, then now the FM Radio.
