DLO (Digital Lifestyle Outfitters) today announced it received a CNET Editors Choice award for its DLO TransPod Car Solution for iPod and iPod nano, an all-in-one car solution that plays the iPods music over a car stereo while charging and cradling the iPod at the same time. The CNET Editors Choice award recognizes outstanding computing and electronics products that CNET Editors have determined represent the highest quality, design and service to users. Its logo is a hallmark of good product design, performance, and quality.

CNET Editors Choice winners are recognized as top products in their respective technology categories, and contribute to the standard by which all future products are judged. A key selection requirement is the difference it makes in the lives of its users, whether through innovative features, exceptional value for the price, remarkable ease of use, or a demonstrable boost to users' productivity.

The DLO TransPod broadcasts the iPods music to any FM radio frequency from 88.1 to 107.9 while simultaneously charging and cradling the iPod in the car. Instead of a separate transmitter, charger and cup holder cradle, the DLO TransPod combines all of these features into one elegant device. Its all-in-one functionality and superior audio performance and sound quality also elevate the TransPod above separate, lower-end, top-mounting FM transmitters. The TransPod works with any dockable iPod, including the video iPod and iPod nano.

CNET reviewer Justin Yu had this to say about the DLO TransPod: "Car-driving iPod owners should look no further than Digital Lifestyle Outfitters' $99 TransPod Overall, we were thoroughly impressed by the player's accessibility and ease of use the TransPod finally delivers a static-free FM transmitter that integrates seamlessly into your drive home. Most city dwellers will have no problem finding a crystal-clear station within the advertised 88.1-to-107.9 range, thanks to the TransPod's virtually unlimited choice of stations and robust transmission signal."

"We are very excited about this honor from CNET, as their Editors Choice award has become the hallmark of technology quality and innovation, and its logo is a symbol consumers know and trust," said Jeff Grady, CEO of DLO. "This is an exceptional achievement, and we are very proud to be recognized for our innovation and commitment to producing the highest quality products available in the crowded iPod accessories market."

The DLO TransPod is available at iPod retailers everywhere and online at the Think Different Store for $99.99.
