Apple's iPods have been incurring technological advance with every new generation of the device. This entails the addition of new features such as video capability, photo storage, touch screens and internet access. Many are speculating as to whether or not these devices will add a radio feature. It seems as though Apple would have the capability of implementing a radio frequency reciever. However, when an Apple representative was questioned about this, it became apparent that Steve Jobs and his company have no intention of such a thing. He said that Apple had no immediate plans for a 'radio-type' function on its players because "Steve considers traditional radio to be a an old technology and he doesn't want to 'taint' his cutting edge technology. On the other hand, the iPod's internet access can now facilitate audio streaming, which is perfect for internet radio stations like Pandora. This could mean that internet radio stations could becomne increasingly popular amongst the public due to the vast popularity of iPods. If people wanted to hear something other than what they had stored in their devices, they could easily go to pandora.com or anothe rinternet radio site and stream this audio. Companies like TVersity (www.tversity.com) have devoted their websites to portable device streaming.
