Griffin announces iTrip Pocket

by Dave Caolo (RSS feed) on May 21st, 2007

Late last week, Griffin announced the availability of the iTrip Pocket, their smallest FM transmitter yet. Designed to match the overall look of the iPod nano, it's about the size of a matchbook and will work with the 1st and 2nd generation iPod nano, as well as the 4th and 5th generation iPod. Plus, their "Smart Display" feature lets you adjust settings on the iPod's screen.

The tiny little transmitter fits right on your keychain and costs $49.99US.

Griffin announces iKaraoke for iPod

by Dave Caolo (RSS feed) on Sep 13th, 2006

Yes, this is exactly what you think it is. The iKaraoke from Griffin Technologies (scheduled to ship some time this winter) is a combination FM transmitter (there's a line out option as well) and microphone that broadcasts your music to your home stereo, minus the lead vocals. From there, you're set to turn on the included mic and do your best "Born To Be Wild." You can also add a bit of a reverb effect to your own singing, or bring the lead vocal track back up if you begin to panic.

No pricing was available at the time of this post.

Proxi reaches version .20

by Dave Caolo (RSS feed) on Apr 20th, 2006

Last week, we told you about the public beta of Proxi, the automation tool from Griffin Technologies. It's a piece of software along the lines of Automator and QuicKeys that lets you create routines to complete complex or repetitive tasks. Today, Griffin has released version .20 of the public beta. Changes include:

Store Value task and extra value added
AppleScript task now supports compiled AppleScripts
"Save As Blueprint"added to trigger popup menu
Launch Application task now shows icon of app to be launched as a badge

A number of bugs have been addressed as well. The final version is scheduled for a May release, and will be free. Proxi requires Mac OS 10.4 or later.

Griffin releases Proxi beta

by Dave Caolo (RSS feed) on Apr 11th, 2006

Earlier today, Griffin technology released a public beta of Proxi, their latest piece of software for Mac OS X. By using "triggers" and "tasks," Proxi will let you automate complicated routines, much like Automator or QuicKeys. There are included triggers for many of Griffin's products, of course, like the PowerMate, AirClick and AirShark, but Proxi doesn't limit you to Griffin hardware; iTunes, iChat, Mail, Skype and more are all fodder for Proxi.

You can share "blueprints" (think "workflows") that you've created with other users. Check out the Proxi wiki for more information on that. I've only played around with the beta briefly, but it looks like fun. It's simple enough to allow non-programmers to create satisfying and useful routines.

The final version will be out in May, and will be free. No specific system requirements were given.

Griffin ships iTrip Auto

by Dave Caolo (RSS feed) on Dec 20th, 2005

The new iTrip Auto from Griffin Technologies is both an FM transmitter and charger that works with all iPods with a dock connector, from the nano to the new 5G iPod. It features a backlit LCD display for easy searching and status. From the website:

"iTrip Auto brings with it all the innovations of its iTrip lineage, including selectable LX and DX modes for best-quality audio under real-world conditions, US and International tuning modes, Griffin's RF technology, and the trademark Griffin world-class industrial design."

Sounds good to me. The iTrip Auto costs $59.99 and is shipping now.
