Griffin no longer makes this product, AFAIK. I'm certain there are some generic products you can find out there which do the same thing though!
You definitely want it external, as the antenna would cause all sorts of interference if it was an internal card (PCI, etc.).

Are you looking for a pocket radio mp3 player?
For mp3 and fm you can get a Sansa Clip+. I have 2. Very reliable and really cheap. Around $25. You can expand the memory with microSD cards. |

I love these -
but
#1 they do not have AM 
#2 the FM quality is not as good as of bigger Sansa brothers or other players...
#3 it's screen is too small for my mom to see
but thx,

I picked up one of these for power failures and emergencies. Great reception and surprisingly good sound.
