The Tykho Rubber Radio is what to get when an IPod just isn't what you need. It has AM/FM and volume buttons moulded in. Twiddle the aerial for stations. And it has a rubber casing ... whilst not waterproof, the Tykho is splashproof, so it's all the go for bathrooms, boats, and the beach.
The Tykho Radio is from the French company Lexon, and is designed by Frenchman Marc Berthier. It takes AA batteries (included), and picks up AM and FM radio loud and clear. Rubber rules.
