Griffin releases TuneFlex for iPod

by Dave Caolo (RSS feed) on Aug 8th, 2006

I use a Griffin RoadTrip as an iPod charger/FM transmitter in my car. It works wonderfully, but there is one thing I don't like about it. While it allows me to swivel the iPod up and down, I can't move it left to right. The power outlet in my car is situated so that the iPod is essentially facing the passenger's seat, making it very difficult for me to read its screen. This is aggravating and dangerous at 65 m.p.h. The TuneFlex looks like it addresses this issue.

It's a charger that mounts your iPod on a fully flexible arm that includes a line out port (if you have one of those cassette adapters) as well as room enough to attach an iTrip. Sure, you've got to buy two products to get auto charging and FM transmission, but that's much more desirable that hitting a telephone pole.

The TuneFlex ships with a wired cassette adapter and a trial version of iFill. Check it out for $49.99US.

iFill and iPod Shuffle: Perfect companions

by Dave Caolo (RSS feed) on Jun 22nd, 2005

shuffleA couple of days ago I mentioned Griffin Technology's iFill. I've been playing with it since and I've got to say it seems to have been made specifically with the iPod Shuffle in mind. I like to listen to WOXY, but I use my iPod almost exclusively in the car. Now I can do both. I have a 1GB Shuffle, and I've told iFill to use 512MB for music. Before I go to bed, I plug in the iPod, launch iFill, select WOXY and start recording. By the next morning, I've got my favorite radio station ready to carry around with me all day, all cozy on my Shuffle.  I love it.

I got some great suggestions from you folks on alternative apps and methods for getting internet radio onto my iPod, but iFill makes it so easy for only nineteen bucks, I think I'll just register this one.

Griffin Technology announces iFill for iPod

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

ifillThe folks at Griffin Technology seem to come up with one great product after another for the iPod. Today I discovered iFill, a very nice looking application that streams and records mp3 files from thousands of free radio stations directly to your iPod. You can even capture content from more than one station at a time.

Until now, I've been recording internet radio with a convoluted system of iCal events, Applescript and Ambrosia Software's WireTap. If iFill can get all of this done for me, I'll be a very happy camper. iFill requires Mac OS 10.3 or better and costs $19.99 USD.
