Android - FM/Radio Transmitting

Question

I was wondering if it is possible at all the manipulate the radio hardware on the device to transmit an FM signal on a specified frequency. As far as I am aware, the phone uses Bluetooth radio, it uses 802.11 radio, so would it not be possible to adjust the power output of the radio device to transmit at frequencies of 87.5–108.0 MHz?

If anyone has any documentation/research papers/guides into this area, please let me know. Is there any generic radio support in the SDK? Because my thinking is, if we can use Bluetooth and Wifi in the SDK, why can't we adjust configurations accordingly?

Cheers,

Tim.

AFAIK, most (if not all) Android devices ship with hardware radios, not software radios, and therefore this would not be possible.
