Digital FM Transmitter and Auto Charger for the iPod by Kensington

Wednesday, November 28th, 2007

The Kensington 33199 scores highly when compared with other transmitters in its class. I have owned a Belkin and a Griffin iTrip. Both are decent FM transmitters but they do not charge my iPod. In addition my Belkin ran on batteries that had a life of only 15 hours. The iTrip worked fine initially, then started to pick up static on all the FM stations. The static went away only when the iPod was in hand. Even after this the sound was unclear.

With this transmitter, it controls the volume on the iPod and I was not able to get the sound as loud as I wanted to. Even so, it was not too muted. The volume was decent.

Audio and Video Cable for iPod by Macally

Wednesday, November 21st, 2007

This product is available for just $1.84. That is quite a small price to pay considering that Apple charges $50 for a similar audio and video cable. There are hidden elements to this story, however. The product arrives at your house packaged attractively in standard Apple packaging. It sounds great and provides good video quality. The story is different if you own a generation 3 iPod Nano.

iPods of different generations are so different. If you are buying something that works for a second generation iPod, be forewarned, it might not work for the third generation model. This is the same story with this product. It does not work with a third generation iPod Nano.

Among all the Griffin FM transmitters, this is the best one. The list price on Amazon.com is $69.99 and the offered price is $37.29.

The BargainCell Rapid Travel Charger for iPod costs just $1.89. It has worked quite well for me. From some stuff I have read on the net, it causes problems with the iPod. I haven’t had a problem so far. It is used often.

The iPod battery runs for a shorter time than under test conditions because users are often using its other features, not just listening to music. One feature that uses up a lot of battery is the shuffle feature. Also the backlight uses up a lot of power. (more…)
