So the Pi effortlessly broadcasts on the FM frequency. I want to see one of these with a 3G/GSM shield running Tunein radio (or Spotify / Audibles / other streaming service) and broadcast on the FM frequency so I can have my fav tunez or audiobooks and online radio in the car without replacing my old stereo. It can run off a small rechargeable battery pack connected to the 12v circuit of the vehicle (maybe via cigarette lighter outlet). A couple of buttons to change app or change fav stations would be awesome.

I saw this emulator build with a Pi Zero, retro pi and an original fat xbox controller. I think it can be made to look a lot better then the prototype in the link below. I am going to be trying this myself when ever I get my hands on a pi zero as well.

Well, with the newly announced Mini Nintendo NES... how about you build your own with a Pi Zero? 3D Print a NES style case to match! That way you can get around the, ahem, limit of 30 games.

Can you build a 3D printed drone that uses the RPi Zero for less than $200 like this?

How to build a $200 smart drone with the Pi Zero | ZDNet

The main idea is to also add GPS so it can deliver a tasty beverage or snack to you with the touch of a button on your mobile phone app or smartwatch!

Here's the one I've built but haven't tested the GPS full autopilot yet!

How about a RasPi0-based IP camera, as the newer versions now have an onboard connection for the Raspberry Pi Camera? Maybe even make it self-powered and weatherproof? A fully independent security camera? Could go all out and also make it a weather station.

What about a Raspberry Pi Zero smartwatch? A voice controlled drone? Or maybe a Raspberry Pi Zero powered Gameboy SP? Possibly even a plug n play 3D printed gaming controller that has a power supply and rpi in the controller and you just have to plug it up to the HDMI on a TV to play?

How about the smallest laptop (of palm top) you have ever built? Could use a small touchscreen only about the size of the pi zero and a custom built keyboard.

How about set a Pi-0 up as a smart video controller for less capable micro-controllers. Controlled by some type of serial commands. This would be a low cost solution to a tough problem for small micro modules and it would provide a migration path to move arduino developers up to become Pi developers.

I know for the US (and assuming other countries) you could get the zero in a new subscription. It says with free cable bundle but my personal experience did not include cables.

First is from Adafruit and the second from Microcenter.

About 4 months ago MagPi magazine were giving them away for free over here.

Needless to say they were flying out of the newsagents. [View:/resized-image/__size/16x16/__key/commentfiles/f7d226abd59f475c9d224a79e3f0ec07-8fc0240d-a727-4934-8f94-a7d62837a031/contentimage_5F00_1.png:16:16]
