First Look: iTrip Universal, FM Transmitter |
The biggest problem with digital music players is that you can’t always listen to your music wherever you go. While you can carry your digital music player on a belt and listen to your favorite songs through ear buds, this isn’t always practical while driving or entertaining guests at your house. One solution is to buy an FM transmitter that plugs into your car’s cigarette lighter so you can listen to your music over your car radio. Then buy a second home stereo that lets you plug your digital music player into speakers so you can blast your tunes all over your house. Rather than buy two separate devices, consider saving money and just get the iTrip Universal from Griffin Technology instead.This portable FM transmitter is slightly larger and heavier than a pack of gum. Unlike many FM transmitters that must be plugged into a car’s cigarette lighter, which forces you to use it only in your car, Griffin’s product contains a rechargeable lithium-ion battery that makes this product completely portable. Pop the top off the device and plug it directly into the USB port of any computer to recharge it. |
