Title: nokia N900, with fm transmitter, handy harry....?
Post by: feeutfo on 14 November 2009, 14:19:37

Its not shipped yet but some reports show an fm transmitter built in. That will save £50 for an fm emulater. Mp3's etc stored on the phone played direct to the radio presumably....smart! if its anygood of course....

Its a bit more fundamental than that, they will not be able to get it CE marked if its not inside the law and if that is the case, its not legal for sale.....plus they can get a nice big fat fine!
