Hidden 'Radio' Buttons Found In Apple's iOS 6.1

There's a hint that Apple has something new in the pipeline, and the company appears to have tucked it away inside the latest version of its iOS software.

Josh Lowensohn at cnet.com reports a set ofg buttons were discovered Monday night within a freshly jailbroken iPad.  Also discovered were code references for "radio," a feature found in iTunes on Macs and PCs, but not on the iPad or iPhone.

Making things more interesting is another button suggesting you can make purchases via the radio feature, presumably from iTunes.

The buttons hint at Apple's much-rumored radio service, a product that will let people stream music much like they do on the popular Pandora service, but with deep ties to Apple's iTunes library. Rumors that Apple has been working on such a service have floated for years, but heated up last year as talks with labels advanced. (See original posting, Click Here)
