HD iPod
Apple is enabling HD Radio's 'push to buy' technology via its iTunes service. The new "iTunes tagging" feature, found in select new HD Radio devices with a special iPod dock, enables consumers to 'tag' a song by pushing a button. The next time the iPod is synced on iTunes, tagged songs are displayed and available for purchase.

Yea, it is not the big-deal it is made out to be - consumers have shunned table-top HD radio, so why should they spend $500 for a device that still requires AM-loop and externally-mounted FM-dipole antennas to even have a chance to pick up the fragile digital HD signals. This is far from having Apple actually including it as a part of the new iPod. This is all to late for HD Radio:
