Missing features from tablets?
I haven't seen any tablets with a built-in radio (FM/DAB) or TV tuner.
Are there any about? Nearly all mobile phones these days have an FM radio. Sometimes it's not possible to use the internet to listen to a radio stream or watch TV. BTW: I know DAB and TV would use a lot of power... |

It will also make the devices heavier. Mobile phones don't have FM radio either. The headphones act as the antenna.
