LG Muziq: Beam music from cellphone straight to FM

The LG Muziq, available next month from Sprint, will be able to download music wirelessly and transmit it directly to your FM radio. Mobile Audio in your car just got easier.
Available for a mere $99, with 2-year Sprint contract and rebate, the 3-ounce Muziq comes with a MicroSD card slot, allowing for fully scalable memory expansion (MicroSD cards max out at 2Gb right now).
As a music player, the battery will run for up to 10 hours, or about 4 hours in talk time.
You'll be able to sideload your digital music to the LG Muziq, or download music from Sprint's Music Store. And with a built-in FM transmitter, you'll be able to listen to it anywhere.
So what happens to the mobile audio landscape when Sprint rolls out its WiMAX service later this year?

A built in FM modulator that doesn't require some kind of docking station or carbonite clip? Sounds like my Inno when I first bought it last May. Where's the NAB bitchfest about this?

How come SatRad had to stop using FM mods and use stuff like SureConnect when MP3 players and new devices can keep using FM mods? Sounds like a scam to me.

"...we found the transmitter on the Muziq to be among the most powerful we've tested. With less difiiculty than we expected, we managed to lock in a channel in our car in New York City, no easy feat. And though Sprint claims a range of 8 to 10 feet, we got reception on our Bose Wave radio from 20 feet away, easily. "
