WOW! This accessory seems like the BEST ipod carcharger, especially for the people like me who want to use the Griffin SmartDeck Cassette Adapter but couldn’t charge the ipod because there was only one port. Looks like this will be a hit!

I wonder if i’ll be able to use the apple FM radio/inline remote with this?
If so i would love to get one of those pass-through cables for my desk so i could charge and isten to the radio at the same time.

I have an fm transmitter thing that plugs into your cigarette lighter and it also has a usb slot to play other music such as an ipod shuffle or any other usb drive that stores music. It will also charge your ipod too and it’s smaller than this thing. I dont ever use it but it only cost me $30, $5 less compared to this one and you can’t use it for an fm transmitter either.
The brand was serious sound or something and I got it at Target. It’s green, you should be able to find it in the ipod or car accessories section.

A pass-through iPod cable is a pretty neat innovation.
