A device that plays music and has a built-in FM radio?
June 9, 2006

	I'm looking for a small 1GB device with FM and a standard battery (AA and AAA). I want to listen to music and NPR podcasts.	Submitted by: Joel, CNET reader e-mail

There are quite a few good choices in the 1GB flash-memory space. You might be interested in the MobiBlu B153, which has a spectacular battery life of 146 hours (rated for 153). It's also podcast ready, meaning it has software installed on the device that allows you to hook it up to any computer to access and manage your fave podcasts.
