Manufacturers are beginning to pack FM transmitters into mobile phones to
enable them to play wirelessly through car radios and home receivers.
The feature is included in Samsung’s flagship Soul handset, launched at
Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, and in Sony Ericssons’s smart new W980
Walkman phone.
Broadcom
is showing of a new single-chip module supporting Bluetooth, Wifi and FM radio
but the FM is receive only – designed for the many handsets that now allow you
to tune into your favourite stations.
Technical marketing manager Richard Ybarra said his company is working on
enabling a future version to transmit as well.
The devices essentially pack the functionality of the standalone FM
transmitters, made legal only a year ago in the UK, that plug into the audio
socket of music players. You set the transmitter to a frequency not used in your
area and tune your radio into it.
