I didn't say it makes the whole unit bad. I just consider it a negative feature mainly because I consider radio a huge negative platform. For many people it's no more of a feature than claiming the unit ships in a "box."

But to focus on the radio in place of one or more many other things they (MS) could have done with the unit, is the wrong direction to push in. Radio in any form has not helped any device significantly in the PMP/DAP market.

As far as radio in an iPhone/Touch, in a similar vein, it's just another thing to waste design cycles on that would be much better spent addressing any of the many deficiencies in the existing platform.
