Soo.... don't hold your breath for it just yet
well I did say "may" and "in the future" but i don't see why they would have to wait for a store, unless you work at BMW and you're telling me this is what they are waiting for. : P

I don't see why they would care for a store sure those things may boost interest for the consumer meaning BMW would be interested too but I'm fairly sure that's just you listing things you'd like to see or are you just listing Iphone features? BMW are already a partner meaning that they are already interested in MeeGo. All you need to see is the install base. I doubt BMW set a criteria like that; whether there is a store or how good a certain feature is-is somewhat but not completely irrelevant to them.

Maemo has a solid media player one of the best I've seen, though its music player may need some work, also MeeGo on more than one device is a no brainer and that has already begun. I personally would have thought things like turn by turn navigation would be high up there if BMW cared for specific features not whether there is a store or how the media player is not the best around but still capable.

It's not exactly the same as you are suggesting, but I think it would be amazing to have a wireless 2 x phono output, such that when DJing from the n900, you could plug that device in to the mixing desk and DJ (ideally with headphones) from the n900 without having to be right next to the desk.

That would also work for controlling home sound systems in the same way. I don't need ijack, just audio out

Short answer no, to all of those things.
The N900 cannot sync with iTunes, and I'd like to know what website/post told you it could. The tricky fix to that would be to download open source music player Songbird, which can import your iTunes library and can sync with the N900.
I've never heard of the adapter you're describing and anyone that tells you the FM transmitter can replace that wired connection either A) doesn't care about sound quality, or B) is afraid to knock the N900 and is just telling you what you want to hear. I'd strongly suggest keeping your iPod in your car and at home for the audio quality alone (lossless audio sounds like 96kbps mp3 over the FM transmitter, but if you have stock speakers you wouldn't really notice the difference anyway). But you get other benefits as well such as not wearing down your N900's batteries, and control over the music via the radio buttons. Touch screen while driving means you can't feel for anything and have to look away to change the track, a definite no-no. If your radio isn't stock it probably has an Aux-in on the back, which would plug in to the N900 just fine.
In conclusion, keep both. If you're just keeping the iPod around for music then you don't have to carry it with you, just keep it in the car until you want to put new music on it, then move it to the house.

it even looks like an ipod, just one you could leave plugged into your can, connect to it using bluetooth and away you go....



Not sure control can go both ways, but it probably can. ie car to n900 or n900 to ipod adapter
