Newer Technology, Inc. (NewerTech) and Other World Computing (OWC) last week announced the full availability of the NewerTech 'RoadTrip!' FM transmitter, an adapter that allows iPod users to broadcast their favorite audio files from an iPod through a car audio system using the 107.7 FM radio frequency.
The 'RoadTrip!' FM transmitter was first introduced exclusively to readers of the August 6 edition of OWC's "Tips n' Deals" e-newsletter. "Our supply of 'RoadTrip!' transmitters is now high enough that I'm comfortable making it available for everyone so they too can enjoy reliable iPod listening via a car's FM radio for a remarkably low price," said Larry O'Connor, president of Other World Computing.
The 'RoadTrip!' FM iPod transmitter connects to a vehicle's 12-volt cigarette lighter and has a 3.5-millimeter stereo jack that is compatible with all four generations of iPods, the iPod mini and most personal MP3 and audio players. The 'RoadTrip!' is available immediately at [url=http://www.macsales.com]http://www.macsales.com[/url] for $19.99.
"The 'RoadTrip!' FM transmitter is a perfect balance of high quality sound and low cost, which allows iPod lovers to play their music through their car's FM radioany car, any FM radiowith ease," O'Connor said. "In testing the 'RoadTrip!' we found the sound quality equal to or even better than other similar products, but with exceptional broadcast stabilityunlike other products that did not consistently provide a good signal to the radio. Many FM iPod transmitters give users a real headache just trying to get a good frequency lock, but the 'RoadTrip!' locks clean to FM 107.7 and doesn't suffer the signal bleed or drift that just takes the fun out of any trip with your iPod."
