Apple Hits Back on Zune, Plans to make iPod a Wireless Radio Recorder

We all know about the ongoing firefight between Apple’s iPod and MS Zune. Latest Rumors say that Apple filled a patent application to allow its Portable media Player tune into FM/AM, Satellite radio and WiFi as a source. It can also Identify the song and shows the buying options.

Say, if your enjoying a song through radio while walk across the street and if your willing to buy it, then you can cue it up, so that it can be bought once you reach home (obviously through iTunes).

Apple also has plans to integrate a radio recorder, but this simple confused me. Who will buy a song while they can record and what does RIAA say about it? If everything works well and if Apple converts this patent into Product form, this might be a cause for Microsoft to worry. Lets wait and see if the rumors are real
