Is there a way to utilize the FM radio and write software to turn it into a FM transmitter. It would be really slick to be cruisin in the car and wirelessly jam out to my mp3's

I dont know how any of the electronics for a transmitter works, but i thought i would just throw my idea out there
I don't think it's possible to turn an FM receiver into a transmitter with software.

OTOH, there a quite a lot of FM gizmos on the market that will plug into the N800's 3.5 mm jack and transmit stuff to your radio. Some of them cost less than a moderate quality pair of earphones.
