Is it true that the 3rd Gen Ipod touch has both a FM receiver and transmitter hardware but it is not turned on in the OS?

Is there any way to turn it on? Any apps to use it?

It would have to be activated by the OS and Apple is not doing that right now.

Doubtful that the FM transmitter would ever be activated
