Kensington Digital FM Radio And FM Transmitter For iPod

Handy Device Converts Your iPod Into an FM Radio

Several vendors offer add-on FM transmitters for the iPod: Set the transmitter and your home or car radio to an unused frequency, and your iPod audio tracks play through the radio. Kensington's Digital FM Radio/FM Transmitter for iPod (about $70 online) adds a receiver, so you can attach it to the iPod's dock connector and plug your headphones into the transmitter to serve as the radio antenna. I was amazed at how great the product's reception was. And with the push of a button, the device toggles into a transmitter for iPod broadcasting.
