Am radio add ons are not generally available for portable devices
due to the need for a relatively large, heavy and cumbersome aerial.
If you look at most AM capable transistor radios, their form factor
is due to the size of the aerial. For FM receivers the headphone
cable can act as the aerial. It also generally viewed by the
broadcasters that AM is an inferior broadcast mechanism ( although
it has much better range than FM)
You don't necessarily need a hardware add-on to receive AM radio on
your iPhone when you are in cell or wifi range.
Some AM radio stations are already included on many of the streaming
radio aggregators available on the App Store for the iPhone and iPod
Touch.
You just need to lobby your favourite AM station to start streaming
their programs out onto the internet if they don't already and then
get these aggregators to pick them up. Some of the streaming radio
aggregator apps available include: Stitcher Radio (Free and works
with thousands of radio stations including all 5 BBC Radio stations
plus Worldview etc), Tuner, FlyCast (free and works with 25,000
stations in the Shoutcast network) etc.
ps. SimCity is now available on the App Store and it plays amazingly
well on the iPhone. It is not a cut-down mobile version but rather
the full desktop SimCity 3000.
Also, check out WebMD a free app for diagnosing health complaints
(click on the part of the body that ails you and choose symptoms, see
possible causes, treatments etc).
Nuther fun one is the app called Television. Allows you to view the
latest on-demand video slots from dozens of TV channels including CNN,
National Geographic, Discovery Channel, BBC, ABC News (Australia),
Phone Aid - a first aid program that talks you through CPR and other
treatments with voice recordings so you don't have to look at the
phone and it keeps you in time.
Road trip - Free fuel economy app.
With the rich apps now out, no one has any excuse to be bored if you
have an iPhone or iPod touch on you.
