Griffin taking pre-orders for iFM

Griffin Technology's latest gadget is the iFM - an FM radio tuning, recording and remote control wonder, packed into a tiny aluminum enclosure that looks an awful lot like a miniature iPod mini.

The iFM remote controls play/pause, FF/rewind, next /previous and the all-important: volume. It also works as an FM tuner, with 6 station presets. As if that weren't enough, it has a built-in microphone for voice memos and the ability to record FM radio while you're listening and save it directly onto your iPod.

The iFM is expected to ship in August for $50, but you can pre-order now.

I'm not positive, but I think we might finally be running out of things to make an iPod accessory or peripheral do!

FM Radio?? Couldn't they squeeze one more IC in there so it could be FM Stereo?

Yulp...more vaporware from Griffin. They had a variation of this item advertised and pre-sold on their site for more than a year before cancelling it. Check the accuracy of the new car-tape adapter release date: It was supposed to happen this month but instead thre's a brand new product photo with the everpresent "Pre-order" tab. Uh-oh...
