- anilgulecha 10y agoThis brings FM for phones without it? Don't most phones already have built in FM?
- matttheatheist 10y agoExactly. Phones without FM capabilities can now listen to FM radio. It even works in "airplane mode", since you're not actually streaming anything from a server. And by the way, most phones have the FM chip purposely disabled... forcing you to stream data from the internet. But with this device, anybody can get FM radio.
- anilgulecha 10y agoGot it. This could be a US thing.. Asian phones almost all have this feature. Also, your competition is probably a simple 10$ FM radio on aliexpress/amazon.
- nostrademons 10y agoPrice point is way too high. I can buy a portable radio from Target for $10. If it were just an app (no hardware) with a price point in the $5-10 range, I'd find it useful. Not sure whether that's even possible though. The existence of cheap competitors sets a ceiling on what you can charge for it.
- matttheatheist 10y agoI'd love to give them away for free. I'll see what I can do about the price though.
- shadowfax92 10y agoLove the concept! But, with things like Spotify/App Music/Sound Cloud and many more streaming services, I think a very small population of users actually use radio. [Suggestion] Can this have some application in Medical or SOS or listening to police scanner?
- matttheatheist 10y agoIt picks up transmissions from 87.5 to 107.9 MHz.
