With the iPod car charger, the iPod remote, my cell phone, and now this thing, where do I set my fries from McDonalds? When is the new Autopod coming out? I hope that thing works… I’m running out of room in my car (and I have an SUV).

$39.95?  Wow, that costs a lot more than the Gruv-X did.  I seem to remember that was $20 online.

This sure isn’t compact! The iTrip looks best. I have the iRock one and it just sucks! Can never get a good sound on it.

If the Belkin is like the AudiaX, the it is really small: 1.6” high, 2” wide, and .75” thick!

What does “Digital” mean in this case? Aside from the ability to tune to different frequencies, is it any different from the existing Belkin transmitter? (which, by the way, I’m really not happy with)

If it’s like the AudiaX, then it’s not a digital tuner. I think they’re referring to the digital readout, not the tuner.

What is the size of this device??

I like it because unlike the Itrip it can be used on other MP3 players or anything with an audio output jack on it.
The Itrip works only on the Ipod…..........that stinks IMHO.

I LOVE the iTip. i have used it up and down the east coast with no trouble. Mostly used in RI/MA/CT area and also in DC and surrounding area. Never had a problem finding a station to use. I even found a good one or two in downtown NYC. Doesn’t need batteries (doesn’t use a lot of ipod’s battery power either), really compact, easy to use interface, and just really practical. I’ve never had a problem at all. It works.

So, has anyone actually tried this thing?  Is it any good?  I’m seriously planning to cancel my new iTrip order this week, and seek an alternative that is actually shipping.  Griffin has no respect for their customers, to even just tell us (via email) that there’s a delay and why.  I have to find out through rumors and sites like this.

So is this thing a rebranded Audia X? On the forums people say that they’re the best fm transmiters. Too bad apple canada doesn’t sell it. Along with a bunch of other stuff exclusive to the US store.

DiverMan—Griffin has sent me three e-mails over the last two months with shipping information and apologies for delays;  they’ve been extraordinarily communicative and honest about their problems in getting their gadgets to me.  Sorry you find them disrespectful.
