I've always wondered - why don't smartphones come with FM radios ??
- userbinator 12y agoThey do, or some of them at least. Mine does. Edit: it has an FM transmitter too.
- wahsd 12y agoSome do. Even the new $20 Microsoft Nokia 215 targeting the developing world have FM antennas and radio functionality. It's actually a wholly under-served feature ... if anyone is working on non-profit, NGO ventures.
- dbarlett 12y agoSamsung's purported rationale for dropping the FM radio in the Galaxy S4: Our studies show a trend shift of interest to digital broadcasting, specifically – focus on listening to music content in social networks or on the channel YouTube. The flagship model of our products are focused on customers who use digital content, which use modern formats and channels of information consumption.

I can't image carriers are upset about it.
