Competition is getting to iPod owners. Jacobs Media ran a poll on 69 radio stations asking what features people want on their iPods. The number one answer, based on 25,000 responses, was FM radio, which was voted by 43% of iPod users and 33% of respondents overall.

The number two feature was more song storage at 24%. Under ten percent were interested in a larger display screen, video playing, and a smaller portable media device.

47% of people owned an iPod or MP3 player. 45% of the non-owners said it was likely that they'd buy one within a year.
