ROBERTS Radio and Frontier Silicon are working together to bring the first ever DAB/FM plug-in radio for iPods to the market. The device will be available in late autumn and will retail for around £49.99. [$100 or so] All leading electrical retailers, both independent and multiples, are expected to stock the plug-in which allows you to tune in DAB digital radio or FM using your iPod. In DAB mode, a small screen on the device displays the name of the radio station.
With more than 13 million iPods already in the pockets of UK music fans of all ages, the plug-in is expected to boost radio listening on the move significantly. Radio still plays a meaningful part in the media day of most people and combining the latest radio technology with the world’s leading MP3 player is a move welcomed by both the BBC and commercial radio.

Don't forget that the UK and the rest of the world use a totally different HD radio standard... The US is the only country using IBOC.
An IBOC-HD add-on that can fit on an iPod is still several years away. Size and battery drain is still a big problem.
I really wish that we would've went with the same standard as everyone else... I can't understand why America insists on staying a technological third world country...
