Wait, I keep reading FM transmitter in Nokia N900 specs.

Is it a transmitter or receiver we're talking about?

Both. The transmitter is mentioned in the specs because the software supports it. There is also a receiver build in, but no software, so it isn't mentioned in the specs.

Both. But no software to use receiver at this point. Would not be surprised to see it in for example in Canola in few weeks, though

But out of the box you can transmit but not receive (for now).

Why it's both!

Now how much would you pay?

The N900 looks just like a cell phone but it's so much more!

If you call now... (because I can't do this all day.)

You get the:
Cell Phone,
the Mobile Computer,
the Camera,
the Video Recorder,
The Video Player (to play those videos you always wanted to take),
Plus the FM transmitter and Receiver.

A total value of over a $2952.00 dollars

One could queue RDS every X minutes instead. If FM transmitter is broadcasting music inbetween tracks, for example.

Bluetooth still works while FM transmitter is enabled, right? Bluetooth FM receiver exists? Bluetooth headphones do.

I am working on a FM receiver application today. My n900-fmrx-enabler D-Bus service for actually enabling the disabled hardware is already in extras-devel for two weeks.
The FM radio app might hit extras-devel tonight.

It will only be a matter of time until there's an FM radio app in extras.
With the n900-fmrx-enabler doing the tricky part of enabling the hardware, other people can start writing FM radio stuff, too. The FM radio is a V4L2 device.

Yup, it needs some additional work done, as the audio output stuff is different on the N900, but since boafm is using pyFMRadio it shouldn't be too hard to make it work. I have updated pyFMRadio for N900 compatibility already.

cool, an FM transmitter *and* receiver eh? this is awesome

I have a question though, most if not all countries have restrictions on what frequencies the public are allowed to use

Would this be an issue?

Also anybody have any idea on what frequencies the N900 transmitter works on?

It's 88.1 - 107.9 MHz, like your radio.
