Griffin’s iTrip FM Transmitter for the iPod has Benefits Beyond FM Transmitting
Posted on November 25, 2007
Griffin Technology’s iTrip FM Transmitter for the iPod has benefits beyond just wirelessly transmitting your content to your car radio or home stereo system. The device has a mini-USB port so you can charge and sync your iPod without Apple’s annoying proprietary cable. I move my iPod around a lot and I frequently don’t have an Apple cable where and when I need one.
The benefit of mini-USB is that it’s been adopted as a standard for both data and charging in many portable electronics devices, so you tend to always have a cable around. And if a cable breaks (it does happen) you just replace it with another one, cheaply.
You can find a new iTrip on eBay under $10 (not including shipping, but all-in you’ll pay under $18). I’ve seen iPod sync cables (especially in brick and mortar stores) for rarely under $15 and sometimes over $25.
