Can't use AirClick and iTrip together. It's in the FAQ on Griffin's page.

My question is can you use AirClick (or a similar wireless RF remote) in conjunction with the JBL OnStage, OnTour or similar remote-less speaker system?

I would guess that you can - but the volume controls would not work unless you hooked up the speakers to the headphone port, which is an option on the IMmini for example. USB version impresses me the most - at last the computer can be used just like a normal DVD player or hi-fi smile

Can you plug the AirClick USB into an Airport Express, and have that communicate back to iTunes on the "home" computer?

"Apple quietly made some change to currently shipping 30GB and 60GB iPod photos around their headphone ports"

does this mean that there IS something wrong w/ the headphones that may be related to the audio defect or other audio problems?

Does the recent iPod photo software update address that issue?

If not, I hope it's addressed at some point and is not entirely physicsal. (It's odd that RANGE would be affected... unless the receiver's not getting full power? My iTrip and other add-ons get plenty of power from my 1st gen iPod photo.)

I second the need for having iPod AND USB without buying an extra remote.

I would love to have one of these, but I already spent $35(student discount) on one of Apple's remotes :(

So you can use the AirClick USB to control the DVD player? That would really make our famalies new iMac 20 inch reach even greater potential since it's in a family room where a t.v should be.

AirClick USB doesn't work with AirPort Express in that way; it's in Griffin's FAQ. And BIGP, not sure exactly how to answer that question.

Nagromme: No; our test hardware is up to date with the latest updater (1.1) for iPod photo. It appears to be entirely unrelated to software. The issue appears to be internal interference of some sort, but we're not 100% sure.

ogvor, yes you can use it to control the DVD player, if you look at the 5th picture down, you'll see that one of the options is DVD player smile

I think I prefer the idea of the iPod BEING the remote--transmitting the music wirelessly. For decent quality that means Bluetooth though, and those units look expensive!

So I think I'll pick one of these up AirClicks up for my iPod AND my PowerBook (which is also my only DVD player--connected to TV). Assuming the interference or whatever is worked out by Apple.

I wonder... does RemoteRemote 2 have the same issue with iPod photo signal range?

Did you try testing these products in a car? I don't imagine there would be any interference issues, but it would have been nice if your review had mentioned this.

Personally, I'm looking forward to being able to tuck my iPod out of sight and use this remote to control playback, at least until the aftermarket gets around to figuring out how to interface with the OEM head unit in my Magnum.

i think its a really bad marketing strategy to say the usb dongle will be included and then say it will only sell with a remote for $40 bucks. There is no sense of having 2 remotes or paying $80+shipping.
