Cell Phone Doubles as Mini FM Transmitter for Your Car Radio

From Jim Bray writing in postchronicle.com: "...along comes LG, the Korean giant that's making news in a variety of consumer electronics markets, with its 550 FUSIC phone. This is a fully featured cell phone that offers all the stuff to which we've become accustomed, plus you can use it as your own private radio station.

It does this via a low-powered FM transmitter that sends signals from the phone to your car (or home) FM tuner, eliminating the need for a wireless connection between the devices. This makes it attractive to the millions of people who don't have iPod input jacks in their vehicles.

It isn't a new concept, but this is the first time I've seen it applied to a cell phone..."
