Sort of like Windows and that whole “all my apps run on it” type of thing.

Griffin Technology Inc. on Friday announced it is shipping the iFM for iPod, an FM receiver, remote control and audio recorder for the iPod. The iFM costs US$49.99.

That’s why we only allow super geniuses to write on this site. Who else could think of something like that?
