The radio tuner includes an instant pause feature

There’s also “iTunes Tagging” – you’re listening to a radio station and hear a song you like. You can “tag” it for easy identification and purchasing next time you sync with iTunes.

Well, in some places you can: “iTunes Tagging is currently available only in the U.S. on radio stations that support iTunes Tagging.” Hmm.

Step it up

The built-in pedometer counts your steps everywhere you go. (Is that going to eat battery?) You can set daily walking goals, and the iPod will keep records in this neat calendar view.
