"Dear All The Excess! - I'm so disappointed that you guys missed the biggest HD Radio story yet. Are you aware that you can now turn an iPhone into an HD Radio? Open your eyes, you misfits. It's time to upgrade!"
A.T.E.! responds: Yes, we got the press release. We know that by going to Radio Shack and buying an $80 HD Radio accessory, you can turn your iPhone into an HD Radio.
However, using the same logic, one can purchase a new Ferrari and turn his/her iPhone into a Ferrari. Or one can buy a condominium and turn his/her iPhone into a condominium.
It's less about HD Radio than it is about the iPhone. Besides, to purchase the Radio Shack accessory, one would have to want HD Radio. We have yet to meet anyone who does!
But we'll publish your letter, because it's a slow news day. Thanks, Stu.
