If they spend precious space inside the new iPhone on an FM transmitter and make me pay for it when I buy one I’ll be almost angry!

Can anyone recommend a Bluetooth device to send songs from my iPhone to my car stereo? I don't have an Aux jack on the front of my stereo. Some manufacturers aren't there yet (I have a Volvo).

Thanks. And yes, those FM transmitters are bad, but I was hoping Apple might get it right. I would rather have the FM receiver, tho.

I agree flash is going under eventually so why include support when it will be useless sooner than later.

FM transmitters suck. You’re better off with Bluetooth or an Aux jack.

@Richard:

Re Flash: I cant wait for HTML5 support (already available in Firefox 3.5 Beta 4) to work its way to Safari.

That will drive a wooden stake thru Flash's evil heart in 6 months flat, and because its open source, there will be options for controlling it.

@Richard, @jitz5 – An FM transmitter is by definition outbound. Inbound FM would be handled by a receiver. That said, if I could only have one, I’d prefer the receiver. I have yet to use a portable FM transmitter of quality.

we will see next Monday.

I don't want to expect anything more than I already know from The 3.0 preview.

@dionte I kinda agree with you here.. All this hype, it will most surely make us dissapointed in some way

And about Flash, honestly… Flash is a resource hog. I used to be “Yay flash, why not on iPhone” but with all the JS Librarys, AJAX, we really have no need for it in my opinion. It’s quicker and easier.

@jtz5 as for FM Transmitter I believe it is for inbound. So that you can listen to the radio on your iPhone. I don’t believe it is the reverse. Given the bluetooth capability, using an outbound FM Transmitter would really be a step back as the quality is a lot less, and more frequent to get lost due to radio interference, from other vehicles stations with a close proximity. Not advisable.

@jtz5

I have the same thing at my gym. It seems silly to buy a $5.00 FM radio at Walmart when I have an iPhone!

Not 100% positive, but I think Flash is a licensing issue with Adobe.

jtz5 — Fri, 05 Jun 2009 13:29:12 +0000

And Flash player unlikely? That also is a big hassle.

FM transmitter is unlikely? Why is it taking so long to put an FM radio in the iPhone? I use it at the gym and all the cardio TVs use an FM frequency. The FM transmitter would also allow me to play my iPhone wirelessly thru my car stereo, right?
