Wireless Headphone idea
Ok, so it may be a big work around, but here goes. This is going to cost you around $100. First, you need an iTrip. Second, you need to pick up a pair of these. (http://www.radioshack.com/product.asp?cookie%5Ftest=1&catalog%5Fname=CTLG&product%5Fid=12-932)
The rest should be common sense. You have yourself a nice pair of wireless headphones, and you can also listen to the radio whenever you want.

Or you could wait until June and for around ?55 in the UK or probabley $100 US, you can get a bluetooth remote which you can plug a set of headphones into so you get better sound quality, a remote and all wireless. Oh yeah and its gonner be a great gadget when its released in June!

Its called the Naviplay, a BlueTooth transmitter and receiver. The transmitter, which sounds like it fits into the iPod's dock also transmits audio to the receiver where you can plug in a pair of headphones. Might not be right for everyone as it only works up to 8 metres - I say only but that's great for most people I should think. Its made by tentechnology who make the navipod, go to www.tentechnology.com

Heheheh. I was thinking the same thing
I suppose the only advantage is if you're doing some physical activity that might (a) cause skipping or (b) place the iPod in harms way. Rather break a ?50 gadget than a ?400 gadget, I guess.
Still, the iPod was meant to be portable without any outside aid.

i dont understand why everyone is so keen on FMing their quality iPod audio. Do you guys rip your music down to to 64bit , or do you just not care about the sound quality?
On a side note, you can pick up or build your own BT phones and a transmitter for rather cheap if you look hard enough.
