Compact Flash or Secure Digital Card FM radio

I would like to be able to receive local FM radio stations on my Axim x51v. If hardware was needed, either storage slots (either CF or SD) are OK. Any advise would be welcome. Thanks from Wild Wonderful WV!

Yes, there are CF radios such as these:

AmbiCom, Inc. - FM-CF (WM5 not supported)

iBIZ CF Compact Flash FM Radio Card For PDA - Pocket Digital Assistant

But they may be difficult to find (try Ebay, etc.) and not necessarily compatible with WM5 devices.

If you really want radio on your Axim and have wireless access, you can always use streaming radio stations.

I've used an IBIZ SDIO radio on an X3i, X50v and X51v. I got it at Softpocket but they don't (not sure any one does) sell it any more. It looks like the one in Rich's post though (especially the software interface).

I've got a cool streaming radio link for you in the US The Mobile Stream Center - Listen to United States Radio Stations on your Pocket PC, Palm, Symbian-based handheld, Smartphone, PDA or other mobile device via Wi-Fi, GPRS or Bluetooth

As far as the CF versus SD issue goes I think the bigger the antenna the better the reception
