FM Transmitter For Droid

[#1]

I know transmitting music via FM is not the best way to do it, but my cars don't have jacks.  So, I just purchased a Monster RadioPlay 300 FM Transmitter from Radio Shack.  Radio Shack is not known for high quality electronics, but I have to say I am pleased with this device so far.  It plugs into the Droid mini-jack and the car's cigarette lighter.  You can set three pre-set fm frequencies from the entire fm frequency band.  That is a great feature.  The audio quality seems as good as normal fm radio while streaming music using Pandora.  The Droid handles streaming music and navigation at the same time with no problems.

I was looking for some information on the TI processor in the Droid when I came across the information for the WiFi/Bluetooth chip in the Droid, the TI WL1271. Check out it's info here: Mobile Wireless LAN - WiLink™ 6.0 Solutions It says "provide FM transmit and receive functions to turn the handset into a personal area broadcast device" So, why don't we have transmit/receive functions on our phone? Another feature the WL1271 has is support for 802.11n

Why worry about features the Droid doesn't have?

I think his point is that the Droid already has the hardware to do what you just bought another device to do instead, so why isn't it already enabled on the phone?? But I could be wrong.

Yes, I get it, but if it doesn't have that feature enabled, it doesn't really matter if it has it or not.
