Or how to stream live internet radio through your car stereo...

Today I achieved geek factor 9. I connected the headphone jack of the iPAQ to a car stereo cassette adapter, a simple low-tech piece of kit that enables CD players, MP3 players or anything that has a headphone jack, to connect and play through your car stereo's cassette player. Then with my iPAQ connected to the Internet via the Bluetooth cell phone, I was able to stream live Shoutcast internet radio, using a PocketPC app called GSPlayer which enabled me listen to US based radio stations through my car stereo. Soooooo cool!

[See pictorial explanation].

Global time-zone confusion then ensued as the US radio presenter said "and it's 2 minutes after 9am' when in fact it was actually 2 minutes after 2pm in the UK. I guess I need to be careful that I don't start driving on the wrong side of the road.

Shoutcast : for more streaming radio stations.
