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!

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...

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