We've watched Greenhouse's wee Kana grow up from its early
Kana-SD stages and evolve into the entirely more mature
Kana D, and now the next logical growth spurt is in order as the device makes the leap to include a
voice recorder and FM transmitting capabilities. The Kana GT packs the same 1GB of internal memory that was seen in its predecessor, still lasts just seven hours on a full charge, handles MP3 and WMA files, and connects to your PC via USB 2.0. This iteration, however, also includes an OLED display, up to 140 hours of voice recording potential, a built-in FM tuner and
FM transmitter, a dedicated antenna, and even a car cigarette USB charger to keep the music flowin' on lengthy road trips. The newest Kana will come in black, red, and silver motifs, and should land in mid-June for an estimated ¥7,980 ($66).

Built-in FM transmitter is the hotness.
They're more useful than an FM receiver in a player nowadays.
Ban spam.
We carried this exact product (unbranded- direct from the manufacturer) on our site for a while but had issues with the supplier so they got pulled. However, this was a really cool product just for the built-in FM transmitter function which actually works really well (you just have to keep the headphones plugged in and not use the included antenna, they use the same port). The biggest drawback? It's got a retractable USB plug that slips and tries to go back into the device when you try to plug it in. You have to fidget with it for a while to actually plug it into a USB port. Just a head's up in case anyone's already booked their ticket to Tokyo to get one.
What I really want is something like that I can dictate into and has some kind of speech to text so I can blog it easy

It's branded as a Maplin ProSound "1gb MP3 Player with FM Transmitter"
