I'd like to bring to your attention an amazing project. From their website:
"The Mobile Multimedia Broadcasting (MMB) team of the Communications Research Centre Canada (CRC) will showcase its new broadcasting handset prototype called openmokast in Amsterdam at the IBC 2008 exhibition this week. The prototype, based on the Openmoko FreeRunner manufactured by FIC Inc., is the first open handset to integrate the reception of live digital radio, video and data services with typical smart phone functions such as mobile telephony, wireless internet and GPS Some details: * A functional USB DAB/DMB receiver inserted inside a case extension, the design of which was based on the Openmoko CAD files * Custom software that can now receive live DAB/DMB radio and decode different types of services such as: - Musicam audio - DAB+ audio - Slideshow - Journaline text news (The software is available as a package from the download section on their website but it can be used only with input files because the hardware receiver is not available to the public.) Moreover, this OpenMoko based DAB/DMB receiver will be shown at the International Broadcasting Conference (IBC2008) in Amsterdam later this week.
