New from mac outfitter and peripheral manufacturer Griffn Technology is the iTrip — an FM transmitter designed specifically for iPods. Like usual FM transmitters, it broadcasts tunes from your iPod to any car or home stereo via the FM tuner. But because it’s specifically designed for the iPod, it has some advantages, such as drawing power directly from the iPod (no batteries needed) and the ability to control which frequency is used from the iPod’s menu. And of course, it doesn’t mar the good looks of the iPod design. $35.
