I know there's been discussion bout fm receiver but maybe someone from Jolla could let us know whether there is a fm receiver inside Jolla's SoC or not?
And could it be "activated" at some point?

This forum post might be also useful confirmation (writer is Jolla employee): http://forum.jollausers.com/sailfish-applications/fm-radio/msg1689/#msg1689
This also confirms the lack of FM wiring: https://together.jolla.com/question/1618/feature-request-dab/
There are two possible solutions:

please check this question
tiemen ( 2013-12-28 20:12:42 +0300 )editthanks tiemen but the thread you mentioned was the reason i added this question: no one really knows for a fact if SoC has the receiver or not. So official answer from Jolla would be neat.
t0mps0 ( 2013-12-28 20:28:05 +0300 )editSoC includes FM chip (Qualcom SnapDragon 400: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Snapdragon_%28system_on_chip%29#cite_note-Qualcomm_Snapdragon_400-113). However it cannot be used due to numerous hardware reasons (antenna is missing, connections are missing etc.).
