    iPod radio-transmitters soon to be legal in UK?

    It may at last soon be legal in the UK to use low-powered FM transmitters to broadcast the output of MP3 music players to radios - in-car and at home.

    Communications watchdog Ofcom last week published a consultation document about amending the venerable Wireless Telegraphy Act 1949 to allow the legal use of this sort of gadget without a license.

    The only sad thing is that FM quality will not be as good as digital - you may as well go and buy yourself a new in-car stereo that takes MP3's etc on CD. They are an awful lot cheaper than they used to be...

    Matt.

    P.S. Bob. The green light to the iMP trial should mean a full version before the end of the year. I can't wait...
