FM-Traffic travels over the FM radio band and therefore you would need to integrate a FM receiver with your smartphone. Most smartphones don't come with an FM receiver. However with traffic.com services I suspect the information is traveling over the smartphone's existing data connection. Therefore a hardware traffic receiver would not be necessary. I could be wrong, but that is my suspicion. BWeb – I think the reason might be in the title.
