How is the FM Tuner going to work?

I know no one has this yet but there isn't really enough info on apple.com to tell us how this works.
Is it going to be Wi-Fi only?
Does it pick up radio tower frequency's?
I would like to listen to a local radio station in the morning while at work and was wondering if it was possible without Wi-Fi?
If AT&T won't let me upgrade to the 3GS iphone then I am going to pick up one of these bad boys with my $100 best buy reward zone bucks.

Is it me, or is Apple missing the boat?
Adding a standard FM radio to the new Nano is the equivalent of Lexus announcing a cassette deck addition to the newest SUV on the market. It is old technology that cheap MP3 players have been doing well before Apple decided to add it in. I don't understand why Apple couldn't have been a bit more innovative, and offered something unique to the market...internet radio, since obviously the technology is there for the iPods to get WiFi (like the iPod touch)...Even HD radio would have been a better option, since most FM stations these days are dropping good programming for talk and sports, or automated playlist formats...WBCN in Boston, innovative radio station kicked off the air...it is kind of back, but as an internet station and an HD channel. Can't get either on this unit.
If Apple was smart, they would look into this, see if it is something that is possible to do with a firmware upgrade to the hardware, or issue a rev soon. Otherwise, the only reason to get a new Nano is the camera, which is cool, but with most people having digital cameras and camera phones already, it is redundant. If an iPod could pick up HD radio or internet radio, at least that would be a feature unique to Ipod.
wrong wrong wrong, cheap MP3 players have not being doing radio well. they have always had terrible radio reception. i bought the 5th gen nano mainly for the clear radio reception. so , it is you missing the boat not apple. imo they hit the bulls eye.

  • How does the Concurrent Access License (CAL) work.

    Description from Google: How does the Concurrent Access License (CAL) work? Xcelsius Engage Server CALs allow for concurrent live data updates inside Xcelsius dashboards. Every time an end-user triggers a Web service inside an Xcelsius dashboard to retrieve live data, a CAL is consumed for a period of 5 minutes. For that period, in a five CAL deployment for example, there will be only four CALs left for consumption. A five CAL deployment could support up to 25 users and additional CALs can be added to support a larger deployment.
    My question is as follows:
    How a five CAL deployment could support up to 25 users and what does it mean. In the first line it is saying that each CAL for a web service is consumed for a period of 5 minutes and how come it can support 25 users concurrently. Did it mean 25 web service connections inside a swf flash file or 25 different users to access a single web service through swf flash.

    The "Set cost controls" concurrent program is used in R12 to mass update the cost control fields on item costs.
    The cost control region is found by going to Cost management >Item costs > Item Costs
    The concurrent program lets you specify which items /costs should be updated by using various parameters such as cost type, item range, category range etc.
    And you can specify the source for the new cost control data and the new value for the fields.
    Hope this answers your question,

  • How does the Web AS Cache refresh work?

    Hi,
    How does the Web AS Cache refresh work?
    I search a guide for Information about this.
    Can anybody help me?
    Thanks.
    Regards.
    Stefan

    hi stefan...
    Cache is nothing but a buffer kinda where all the recently accessed data r stored.
    so sometimes even after making changes u access the page the old data/page is displayed...
    so Web AS cache works as a normal refresh deleting all the recently accessed data/pages...
    it clears or frees ur memory so tht no irrelevant data is obtained...
    for further details, refer to google search... " Web AS Cache Refresh in SAP-Xi"

  • How is the recalled battery going?

    Hey guys... got a question to those of You who had Your battery recalled.
    How is it going? Is the battery capacity better? I mean, can You work longer without the AC cord plugged? Mine with Safari, MSN and iChat camera (to stop the whine) ethernet cord and optical USB mouse, matrix about half-bright and it handles 2hours 10 minutes... got the newest frimware I bet... which is the newest? Maybe the battery exchange fixes another issues, like heat etc? There is no MLB battery exchange in Poland, so my logic baord is still as it was. Heat and whine still present. Does the new battery help any of these? And how about the battery life?
    I'd be gratefull for answers.
    Cheers.

    Mine definitely seems cooler, though I haven't actually checked the temps for specific temperature differences (will do that when I get home), but I had it sitting on my lap for about an hour the other night and suddenly realized the tops of my thighs weren't cooking yet.
    Also, I'm getting at least an extra 20-30 minutes life out of mine, and if I shut the lid and then open it up a couple hours later my compute comes right back on as opposed to before when I would have to power it back on, because the computer had shut itself off (regardless of how much charge the battery had).
    So, all in all, I can say def improvements with the new batteries.

  • I bought an iphone sprint carrier on ebay but i want to know if the phone is going to work for an international carrier movistar which is gsm due to the phone does have a sim card slot , what do i need to do ?

    help me how can i get my phone to work in movistar which is my carrier in ecuador gsm . sprint iphones does have sim card slot but i'm not sure if it will work for gsm what do i need to do , how do i unlock it

    IF the phone was unlocked by Sprint for international use, it will work on any compatible (non U.S.) GSM carrier.
    If it was NOT unlocked before you acquired it, you will need to move to the US and establish service with Sprint, then wait the minimum amount of time specified by their policy before they will agree to unlock it for you.
    If you are not a Sprint customer, you bought the wrong phone.

  • How does the extractor in FXCollections.observableList work?

    How is the "extractor" supposed to work for ObservableLists?
    According to the JavaDoc it should trigger a update:
    >
    This list also reports mutations of the elements in it by using extractor. Observable objects returned by extractor (applied to each list element) are listened for changes and transformed into "update" change of ListChangeListener.
    >
    This code however does not trigger a change:
    import javafx.beans.Observable;
    import javafx.beans.property.SimpleStringProperty;
    import javafx.beans.property.StringProperty;
    import javafx.collections.FXCollections;
    import javafx.collections.ListChangeListener;
    import javafx.collections.ObservableList;
    import javafx.util.Callback;
    import java.util.ArrayList;
    import java.util.List;
    public class TestApp2 {
        public static void main(String[] args) {
            List<MyObservable> arrayList = new ArrayList<MyObservable>();
            arrayList.add(new MyObservable("Test"));
            arrayList.add(new MyObservable("Test2"));
            ObservableList<MyObservable> list = FXCollections.observableList(arrayList, new Callback<MyObservable, Observable[]>() {
                @Override
                public Observable[] call(MyObservable myTreeData) {
                    Observable[] observables = new Observable[1];
                    observables[0] = myTreeData.nameProperty();
                    return observables;
            list.addListener(new ListChangeListener<MyObservable>() {
                @Override
                public void onChanged(Change change) {
                    System.out.println("change");
            arrayList.get(0).nameProperty().set("Hi");
        private static class MyObservable {
            public MyObservable(String name) {
                this.name.set(name);
            public StringProperty name = new SimpleStringProperty();
            public StringProperty nameProperty() {
                return name;
    }

    I, too, am trying to work out how to use extractors. The documentation is sparse.
    I have found that if you replace your:
    arrayList.get(0).nameProperty().set("Hi");
    with:
    list.remove(0);
    your Callback is called, but you pretty quickly get a NullPointerException after it returns.

  • How does the Photo Download Backups folder work?

    I am wondering how the Photo Download Backups folder works--does it keep backups for just a certain amount of time? I just recently found this in my Downloads folder when I was cleaning out unncessary files for extra hard drive space. Mine has nearly 60GB so it would be great to clear it out if possible. (I already backup to an external drive.) Thanks for any insight.

    You are talking about two different things:
    Are you downloading the pdf to your computer or trying to view it in your browser? These are two different things. If you are trying to view it in your browser, which browser under which OS? How are you trying to view it. If you are trying to download a pdf, again please list the steps.
    As to conversion to pdf, you use the Save AS Other menu.

  • How does the rightclick in captivate 6 work?

    Hello everybody!
    I have a problem with the rightclick in captivate 6. I`m making softwaresimulations for the products of my company. The design of our software requiers a lot of rightclicks. When I publish the simulation as a html-file the rightclick is absolutly no problem. Also publishing the file as a swf-File and playing in a browser makes no problems. But sadly, because of the technical requirements of our costumers, the softwaresimulation must be played in a flash-standalone-player like Adobe Flash 11 sa. But when I test the simulation in the standalone-player the rightclick doesn`t work anymore.
    My question is, how can I make the rightclick in this case working correctly?
    I would be so thankful if anybody could help me.
    Greetings
    Konrad

    Thank you for your answer. But I`m not sure if you understand me right. I don`t want to publish an exe-File. I just want to run the swf-File in a standalone flash player and use the rightclick.
    Doesn`t the flash player support JavaScript?

  • How does the new HTML5 video Support work? and what are the limitations?

    So the new Edge has been relased along with many new features including HTML5 video support So along with the new feature here are a few new questions!
    How does Edge load the Video? is it fully preloaded before Edge shows the content ? Or is it more of a "youtube" pregressive load while playing?
    Or can we choose?
    What is the recommended video file size  example 4mb ?
    How does edge deal with browsers that only support .ogg or .webm instead of mp4?
    How is the support on ISO & tablets? load times, "lag" etc?

    When you import an audio or video file a group is created for you. You can import media with the same name(videosample.ogv; videosample.mp4) to this group for ensuring browser compatibility. The corresponding format will be chosen depending on the browser that loads the composition.
    Regarding WebM format - You can also add a webm file in your composition;However since this is a royalty format, Animate will not show a live preview inside the Authoring tool. If you browser supports this then it will definitely play fine on browser preview.
    You can take a look at the In-app Video lesson which is available to you in the lesson panel for more details on how this works.
    And yes you have pre-load options for HTML5 Video too, however progressive download is not available. You will need to use scripting using JS for getting this functionality.
    Hope this helps and do try this out.

  • HOW DOES THE NEW MBOX 2 MINI WORK WITH THE MAC MINI?

    I have a old original Mac mini 1.25GHz with 1 GB SDRAM - 40GB Ultra ATA drive, 4x SuperDrive (DVD±RW/CD-RW) OS 10.3
    I also have just added the new MAC MINI 1.66 CTO OS 10.4
    with the following configuration:
    * Processor 065-6673 1.66GHz Intel Core Duo
    * Memory 065-6676 1GB 667 DDR2 SDRAM-2x512
    * Hard Drive 065-6750 120GB Serial ATA drive
    * Optical Drive 065-6679 Combo Drive
    In addition, I have a MicroNet 150 GB external hard drive.
    The 3 are linked together so that the icons for the MircroNet and the old Mac mini are shown on the New Mac mini desktop.
    I’ve kept the New MM as is for apps, moved most of the files and folders to the MNet, and have done a reinstall on the old MM, getting rid of almost everthing that was on it originally except the OSX and apps.
    I’m thinking about using the old MM to set up a recording studio. This would involve the new MBox 2 Mini with ProTools LE. For details, just Google it. It comes 2 ways, configured for the G4 MM or for the new Intel MM. I’d rather not clutter up the new MM with this, as sometimes the Digidesign Pro Tools apps can be a bit toxic.
    If I get the MBox 2 Mini and run it on the old MM, will this work? Has anyone tried this? Do I have enough processing power and speed, ram and hard drive space?
    Thanks!

    MAC MINI 1.66 Intel Core Duo, Mac mini 1.25GHz MicroNet 150 GB external hard drive.   Mac OS X (10.4.8)  

    Hi Larry,
    I just purchased a Mbox 2 Mini. I am running it flawlessly with my Core Duo 1.66Ghz Mac mini w/2GB RAM.
    I have not seen the two versions for Intel and PPC Macs as you described. Digidesign only produces one box...compatible with Mac or PC.
    The Digidesign site states that the Mbox 2 Mini is compatible with your 1.25GHz mini, but Pro Tools LE 7.3.x requires Mac OS X Tiger 10.4.x, not Panther 10.3.x.
    You would get far better perfomance using the Intel mini over the PPC. And, you would get better perfomance by maxing the RAM out as well.
