I'm looking forward to playing around with a demo piece, once it arrives at
the Apple store in our local mega-mall. Hopefully the FM signals will
penetrate the building with sufficient strength to receive, otherwise Apple
should consider giving some stores a Part 15 transmitter.

I see that it can be switched between the US-Europe FM band and the Japanese
76-90 MHz band... so it won't become obsolete once FM takes over TV channels
5 and 6 (just kidding!)
