There isn't an FM transmitter built into the phone's hardware, so it isn't possible through an app. FM transmitter are poor quality though, due to being extremely limited by the FCC to a weak signal.

I use the phone's built in bluetooth and bought a Sony Xplod deck that has bluetooth built in. As long as your stereo supports A2DP bluetooth your phone can stream all its audio through your deck and car speakers.

Hmm...I'll have to check that out. My stereo receiver is only about a year old so maybe it has that. Thanks.

New "hot" game for Droid: Words With Friends.

Scrabble game you can play with friends on Droids or iPhones.

I just downloaded Words With Friends and I'm playing with someone, somewhere. Fun, but not a fast paced game by any means. You have 72 hours (3 days!) to make a move before your turn is forfeit.

Edit: It's not words With Friends, it's Wordfeud. Probably the same basis.

That's WHY I like it. I don't want to HAVE to devote an hour to sit down and play Scrabble with someone.
Instead I have 4, yes 4, games going with 4 different friends. I can check it when I want to and play.
Very nice.

One of my newest favorite apps is by Radio Thermostats. I'm using the latest 1.0 beta, but they should be releasing it to market this week.

You can view all your thermostats and change them on the go. The thermostat this works with is the Filtrete 3m50, you can get them for around $100 at Home Depot. They come with a wifi module to communicate through your router.

I picked up three, one for each AC unit. Forgive my screenshot, drocap was getting user permissions... Clicking on an area brings up that thermostat's controls.

Turn up the heat from the couch...or another city!

Only 4? Pfffft!

I currently have three games going, including one with my brother in Korea. I've had 15 games going at once before. I like to play and sometimes my opponents take too long to respond, so I just start another game

How can I develop my own app for the Android phone?
