Yep, that's the point! In newer revision of the TI BlueLink / WiLink chips which are to be bundled with OMAP processors, in addition to FM Rx feature also Tx is added.

Also see this document on page 3: http://focus.ti.com/lit/wp/swmy001/swmy001.pdf

It is from April 2009 and says for BlueLink 7.0 (with FM Rx&Tx combined) and WiLink 6.0 (Fm Rx&Tx combined) "Announced/Sampling". So by time of OMAP3630 this should have been default inclusion.

And the "leaked" Harmattan package list had "wl1273" Firmware package...

But let's wait and see (and hope a little bit...)
