Gadget maker Griffin has released a nifty little FM radio module, the Griffin Navigate, that plugs into the base of an iPhone and adds FM radio functionality.
It has an inline remote control, a display, and takes standard headphones. It will also soon have a location-based iPhone application to find your nearest FM station and provide RDS song information from the radio station.

A plea from our Pete: “I want one of these… anyone know of a UK supplier? Free mention in the next show for anyone finding a UK supplier for the Griffin Navigator”
Update: Now available in the UK as of 22 April 09 – Found on Amazon for £33. Griffin Navigate at Amazon
