iConcepts Universal Docking Cradle and Wireless Remote for iPod (19688C-IP) Review

iConcepts Universal Docking Cradle and Wireless Remote for iPod (19688C-IP)
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
This dock works for synchronizing with iTunes or playing music from my 6th generation iPod Classic 120 GB. I have to take the iPod out of its clear plastic case in order to fit it into the dock. The Apple brand insets don't fit this dock.
The remote works well if it's pointed directly at the dock in a clear line of sight and fairly close range.
Of course, this dock has to be plugged into a computer or AC power supply through its USB cable. It's not battery powered.
This dock does NOT work for my 5th generation iPod Nano 8 GB. It includes an inset that fits, but the electronics are apparently incompatible--the iPod plays out of its internal speaker rather than through the docking station. For the time being, the Apple Universal Dock - Digital player docking station seems to be the way to go for this new iPod.
I don't know what they mean when they say you can "use the included A/V cable to enjoy video on your television." I don't see any video port or cable. You can see the stereo audio cable that was included with this dock in the customer images I posted. No video on the cable they sent me. Someone please correct me if I'm wrong.

Kensington 33169 Digital FM Radio and Transmitter for iPods Review

Kensington 33169 Digital FM Radio and Transmitter for iPods
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
This unit does both: receives FM as a radio, and transmits FM to your radio. Just purchased this yesterday, so I don't have good numbers on how long it takes to drain the iPod's battery. I do know that you can get a solid 4 hours at least. This unit does a fantastic job of transmitting my iPod selections to my FM stereo radio. I can take the iPod 30 metres away, around the house, and the music continues without interruption. I've heard that some of the FM transmitter systems didn't have much of a range, and was pleasantly surprised to find that this one is quite good.
For FM reception - you stick your headphones into the unit itself, rather than into the iPod's headphone jack - so I presume that it is just using the iPod as a power source rather than anything particularly intelligent.
Not needing to buy two different units seems like a good idea to me.
The one downside is that there is no way to charge the iPod while the Kensington unit is connected, whereas some of the FM transmitter-only systems can be plugged into car power supplies.

It does not work with the Ipod Touch with the wireless adapter (as both "holes are on the same side, the plug and the usb) and also it is not charger as they say, only a transmitter.. Do not waste your money on it It does not worth it!! too expensive for the use.

Play your favorite iPod playlists through your car's stereo speakers while simultaneously powering and controlling the device with this combination remote control and FM transmitter/charger combo pack. The FM transmitter is easy to use: simply find an empty frequency on your FM dial--meaning a frequency that gets no reception--then tune the transmitter to the same channel. The music will then play through the selected station, negating the need for a cassette deck adapter, auxiliary input, or other wired music transfer device. The remote control, meanwhile, features a RF receiver that plugs into your iPod's dock connector, where it passes on such commands as play, forward and reverse, shuffle, or select playlist. The range is an impressive 150 feet, making it a handy tool for controlling your iPod in the home as well as the car. The receiver also offers pass-through functionality for connecting a charger or integrating a Bluetooth device.Finally, the unit's charger (integrated within the FM transmitter)

Griffin iFM Radio Receiver for iPhone and iPod Review

this product is even better than i thought! from the description it doesn't say that you can tune to specific stations (not just a list of ones that the device thinks you want to hear) i just hoped for the best when i ordered it. this means that i can use it at the gym to tune to the tvs and hear the sound. as far as i know this is the only product you can connect to an iphone/pod and do this. it does not have the iphone 4 listed as a compatible device but it works with mine. i highly recommend this product.

XtremeMac AirPlay FM Transmitter for iPod and iPod Mini Review

XtremeMac AirPlay FM Transmitter for iPod and iPod Mini
Average Reviews:

I bought this unit after trying the Itrip by Griffen Technologies which I found to be unsatisfactory. This unit does the job. In my car and on my boat, the Airplay works very well, even here in Southern California where there really aren't any completely clear FM frequencies. The Airplay seems to have much more power than at least two other FM transmitters I have tried, which enable it to function very well.
Setting up the Airplay is simplicity itself; one simply plugs it into the top of the Ipod and dial in the desired FM frequency. No software to deal with. Make sure that the volume control of the Ipod is at about 60-70%--this is the only critical setting. The Airplay has greatly enhanced my enjoyment of the Ipod by enabling me to use the Ipod anywhere I have an FM radio, thereby letting me use the nice speaker systems in my boat and car. Great! One day, of course, car and marine stereos will have Ipod docks. But until that happy day, the Airplay will be there for us.

Creative Labs Sound Blaster Wireless Audio Transmitter and Receiver Bundle Review

Creative Labs Sound Blaster Wireless Audio Transmitter and Receiver Bundle
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)

Having used a myriad of devices from the squeezboox boom and the squeezebox duet system -- as well as a few other devices that are not worth mentioning, I'll say that this is by far the easiest to use, install and operate.
Let me walk you through my set-up ... which took about 10 minutes ...
1. Unpacked the box and did away with all the plastic detritus.
2. Installed and registered the software on my laptop.
3. Plugged in the transmitter to a USB port in the back.
4. Rebooted my laptop, turned on iTunes and played a U2 album.
5. Plugged in the receiver (using a nicer set of cables) to my Sony Stereo Receiver on Aux 3. Was tempted to go optical.
6. Hit the find button on the underside of the little device and walked away.
7. 15 seconds later -- music played.
8. Stuck the batteries in the remote and turned it up.
That simple and absolutely no stumbling blocks to speak of.
Sound Quality? -- Better than I expected for this, but I wasn't looking for Mark Levinson to come out of my office and sit down on the couch with a glass of wine. The sound quality is more than adequate for casual home listening and the better your system is, the better the device will sound to you.
Responsiveness? -- I'm constantly unplugging the transmitter from my laptop and taking off somewhere, only to come back replug it back in, and find it working almost instantly and flawlessly. Windows and iTunes are not always asking questions or looking for drivers. It seems that whatever iTunes needed to do to make this thing be compatible with itself, was worked out ahead of time by Creative Labs and Apple. That's a first.
The Software -- is quite good and quite simple. You can customize it to play in zones, if that's your thing or adjust the quality of the sound and other minor changes. The software, from what I saw, doesn't appear to be a resource hog, nor has it been the culprit of crashes or bluescreens. If you don't use iTunes , you don't like to, or don't want to, this may be the only *real* problem one could face. The good thing is that it doesn't require you to depend on it as a player like other companies, or other devices do.
I can find no fault with this and I'm happy with the success of this device. I use it everyday now and I'm thoroughly pleased.
Well done ... a great idea to give as a gift for young or old as the ease of use with this is simple and the learning curve low. How about that for innovation?
