I hope someone makes an app that takes audio from the mic and pumps it out through the FM transmitter. It will turn the N900 into a wireless microphone.
When I was a child, we called this "Mr. Microphone".

Or, if you get the input from, say, twitter, then hook it up to flite and the FM transmitter and BAM - the wireless twitterphone is born !

Are there any 'discovery' servers available for maemo? For example, discovering a device on a local network and potentially the services that it's open to. This would be a useful little project.

The interesting thing is that Maemo 5 uses PulseAudio. Which, in theory, should be able to transmit / receive audio over TCP/IP. So theoretically, a "Mister WiFi Microphone" is also possible...

For realz..

I like the idea of auto-connection based on proximity. I vaguely recall something like this before, but my memory is fuzzy.

For example, your N900 alerts people that are on your network (or can be polled by people on your network) that you have certain apps authorized for connections ie. the 'Mister WiFi Mic', a web server, an FM stream on a certain frequency, a chat, etc, etc, etc.

Thank you for the extremely thorough explanation of 87.9 MHz.

So, I think you would agree that the N900 having the ability to broadcast on this frequency would be fantastic. Well, at least for Americans.
Haha, no problem. It was better than doing work. ;-)

But yes, the punchline is that you should get pretty good reception on 87.9MHz on most non-crappy radios (especially in cars which have to have pretty decent radios to work at all while moving).

If you don't, I'd recommend radio-locator.com's unused frequency finder at http://www.radio-locator.com/cgi-bin/vacant. It's pretty slick.

Yeah, my idea was to have the phone (well, any audio from the N900) be able to route through the FM transmitter as well.

Guitar -> mic in -> FM transmit -> Radio -> processing -> amp

or even better

Guitar -> mic in -> PulseAudio -> guitar rig -> amp

Wireless baby! I can finally run around the audience scarring away the guests! And I can use my wiimote setup to have a fully wirless guitar / dynamic foot pedal! YEAH!!!!

No, it starts at 88.0 MHz.
This sucks as I'm currently using 87.6 MHz with very good experience in my area with my 3rd party FM transmitter and the N810.
