Soon you could be watching pictures as you listen to the FM radio built in to your Nokia handset. The Finnish phone maker has come up with a system that lets radio stations interact with their audience via the phone network. Dubbed Visual Radio, it uses sound and images to give listeners a real-time guide to what they are hearing. The first trials of the technology will take place later this year and involve Helsinki's Kiss FM radio station. The first phone to have the Visual Radio technology built in is the Nokia 7700, which is due to go on sale during the summer. Future Nokia phones that sport an FM radio will also have the Visual Radio system onboard. The 7700 is a dedicated media player that can handle video, stills and music. It has 64MB of memory onboard plus an expansion slot to allow people to play their own music collections. Nokia said existing handsets with FM radios onboard, such as the 8310, would not be able to use Visual Radio. The technology ties radio broadcasts together with specially created content that, for example, could tell people which band is playing and what they look like. Source: BBC News
