But, I think resisting the Swiss Army Knife syndrome is pretty far down on the list of reasons why. Higher on the list? Well, for one thing, they'd be missing out on the revenue generated by the aforementioned Radio Remote. But more importantly, they'd only be adding more competition for iTunes Music Store. Hell, I don't think iPods would have MP3 capability if Mr Jobs thought he could get away with it. There are plenty of MP3 players on the market that have FM built in. Their manufacturers don't sell music. It’s true that Apple will never build in radio. But, I think resisting the Swiss Army Knife syndrome is pretty far down on the list of reasons why.
