Interesting iPod Technology Add-Ons

Griffin is a technology company that makes all kinds of accessories and add-ons for the iPod.

The iTrip is one of their big sellers. This is a small device that plugs into the bottom of the player. It syncs up with an open FM frequency on the radio in your car/home (wherever...). Now, you can play your iPod music through your speakers using this open frequency. The ticket price is only 50 dollars. The device is capable of auto-tuning to ensure you are connected to a frequency with a strong signal. There are ports on the iTrip which allow you to charge the iPod while using the device. There is also a back lit display for seeing clearly in all situations.

Another handy device that couples or families would especially enjoy is the Griffin PowerDock.

This item is a charging base for the iPhone and any form of the iPod. They plug into the wall, and are available in 2 or 4 slot docks. The body of the charger is made of brushed metal, and the bottom has grippy rubber for stability. This is a very handy, visually appealing way to charge all of your Apple "iDevices".

The Griffin Journi is another add-on that caught my eye. This is a personal mobile sound system. There is a slot that your iPod slips into. It is like a new age boom box you could say.
The following is how Griffin describes this device:
"Journi, Griffin's personal mobile speaker system, has great sound wrapped up in a rugged, go-anywhere package. Charge Journi up, slip your iPod into the Dock, and hit the road.
Journi evolved from a simple idea. Apple's go-just-about-anywhere iPod deserves a set of portable speakers that don't sound like they ran your music through a meat grinder. Journi rises to the challenge with great-sounding portable speakers in an ingeniously designed, easy-to-use form factor."
Great for traveling, and a supposed excellent sound quality. Only for 130 dollars. This would be a great addition to your iPod equipment. I could think of many uses or occasions where this item would come in real handy.
