The Apple news site says that Apple is coming with a new app for its iPhone and iPod Touch that will bring FM radio to the devices.

Aaccording to people at 9to5 Mac the functionality of the application will be similar to what Apple built into the iPod Nano. That includes the ability to pause live FM transmissions and fast-forward when you resume playing.

The new app is supposedly being delayed while Apple adds a song tagging capability to the application, allowing users listening to stations that support tagging to order songs from the iTunes Store while they are still playing on the radio.

That would also be a nice counter against the radio function in the Zune HD. Microsoft, has long had HD FM functionality built into its Zune handheld multimedia devices. With HD FM radio functionality on the Microsoft device, songs that play via HD FM radio can be tagged on the device for later download on Microsoft’s Zune marketplace.
