Griffin ships iTrip for iPod nano
Griffin Technology announced the new iTrip for the iPod nano a couple of months ago. The
good news is that it's now
shipping. This baby is billed as the most advanced iTrip ever. The new design is sled-like to avoid bulking up the profile of your iPod nano. You just slide your iPod nano into the iTrip's slim body.
Station info is displayed directly on the iPod nano's LCD screen. This iTrip also has "Smart Sense" volume control that automatically adjusts volume for optimal quality. You can select stereo or mono (to get you through rough reception spots). And you can charge or sync your iPod nano while connected through the iTrip's built-in USB port.
Retail price from Griffin Technology is $49.99. How much do you want one?

Looks very promising. I'm actually considering getting one of these just for simplicity sake.

Instead of spending $50 on a new iTrip, that, thanks to popularity, I can't pull up to a stop light without hearing a mixture of three other iTrips in close range; I went ahead and spent $30 more and had the local audio place install an AUX input for my car. No more 1/3rd battery life, no more changing stations every couple days to keep it in check, no more being limited to the volume in order to avoid flat out crappy audio quality. Best $90 I've spent this month.

I was going to get an iTrip Nano but I don't want to remove the case every time I want to play the iPod in the car.

December 30 2005 at 7:56 PM Report abuse Permalink rate up rate down ReplyIf it has a mini-USB port like the new iTrip w/ Dock connector, I know a lot of people will be pissed. I have no idea why they bothered doing that; it's more of a hassle than anything. It also doesn't help that there are no mini-usb chargers out there, unless you buy something like a PowerJolt and a separate USB-MiniUSB cable.
In this case, I prefer the proprietary, STANDARD dock connector. Despite using iTrips for my 2nd Gen and my 4th Gen, I got an Airplay2 and charger. So far, it's far superior to any one of the previous iTrips.
