Radio

The ipod has an accessory that allows you to broadcast your
music over a near by radio.

Anything similar to that for the PPC?

Lots of them exist. They are not normally device specific like the one for
the IPOD. I have one of these:

It says it is for the Ipod but it works fine with my hx4700.

They are also selling one specific for the Ipaq now but I am guessing it is
the same item just but not sure.

These works Ok depending on the density of surrounding radio stations. Don't
let the descriptions fool you. As long as the device you have has a standard
headphone jack these FM transmitters will normally work just fine.

Belkin makes one. The audio is lousy-low bandwidth-
nasty cutoff at both high and low end. This is more a problem
with FM in general, not specifically the Belkin.

It works, though.

Audio sounds better through one of the cassette tape
adaptors, but then you get tape motor noise.

Don't know about radio (that'd be good for the car) but
if it's for home, then you can get Bluetooth receivers
for speakers - D-Link do them and I am sure others do as
well.

Yuck, that's so 1980s jerry-rigged. If one's that cheap, why not simply
get a radio with a front line-in?

There are FM transmitters available that just connect to the headphone jack
of the device and use either AAA batteries or a car adaptor for power. I
guess they should work with any device that has a headphone jack for output.
However, the quality of transmission is often quite poor. I have found
cassette adaptors to be a much better choice.

Thanks

In my personal experience I find this to be the case as well. I have a
couple different models of fm transmitters out in the truck that I have
collected over time, but interference while driving (especially high pitch
whines and beat frequencies ) leads me back to the cassette adaptor. No
doubt this is in no small part due to electrical shielding that really
favors radio signals outside of the cab to be picked up over the noise of
the truck electronics within the interior. Of course the best solution
would be to go with an indash head with audio in jacks, but I have not
gotten around to it yet...

Newer cars have bluetooth just for this purpose.
