But this will leave me even more annoyed that I have to carry my old phone (SE K800i) as a radio in the morning because I don't have an FM radio in my iPhone - despite the fact the BCM4329 has an FM radio receiver. BTW, FM transmitter is also mentioned - could this be used to link to a car stereo? Cool.
