Griffin Technology ships iFM for iPod
Posted by Dr. Macenstein
Griffin Technology Inc. is now shipping the iFM for iPod (US$49.99.), an FM receiver, remote control and audio recorder for the iPod.
The iFM looks to be the one iPod accessory you really don’t want to be without.
So, what can it do? How about:
• It’s an FM radio with band-switch function for US, European and Japanese radio frequencies
• Lets you remote-control your iPod, with play, pause, fast forward, rewind, next song, previous song, and volume controls.
• But THIS is what is really neat….(On third- and fourth-generation iPod and iPod photos) the iFM can also be used as an audio recorder. You can record FM radio or use a built-in omnidirectional microphone to record voice memos. Granted, it will be at substandard quality (limited by Apple to bulky 8kHz, 16-bit WAV files) but still pretty cool.
