David Lawrence: Just now 7 past the hour thanks for tuning into the show, I appreciate it very much, my name is David Lawrence. The name of the show is Online Tonight. We talk technology, pop culture, anything that clicks and beeps and whirs and makes noise and does calculations and whatnot. Just before the top of the hour we had a call about someone whose nephew had just gotten an iPod. And he said I want to get him some you know some accessories, I want to get him some gifts and we had mentioned the iTrip from Griffin which is a little sort of looks like a half roll of pennies or dimes, just the same width as you iPod and the same color as your iPod. And it clicks down into the control pod and the headphone jack at the top of the iPod and when you do that if you tune your radio; tune an FM nearby FM Radio to 89.7 or 87.9. Okay don*t know radio frequencies 87.9. You can play it in the car, and you can play it in a hotel room and you can play it in your bedroom and whatever through your stereo, it broadcasts whatever is coming out of the iPod to an FM receiver. So that*s a very good, and it*s really inexpensive it*s like $15 it*s not very expensive at all, doesn*t require batteries. One of the best deals actually out there. I would, I sort of ran through a laundry list of things that I would get people if they were getting iPods. First of all I would make sure that their current version of iTunes is 4.9 or above whenever you are hearing this. 4.9 is current as of August of 2005. I would make sure that their computer has either a USB 2.0 port and that everything on the computer is USB 2.0 compatible or a FireWire port either a card in it or a FireWire port that lets them plug their iPod in and get high speed transfer, data transfer back and forth. I would also get them the charging cradle, doesn*t actually come with the iPod. But it*s a little device that sits on the desktop and you just simply slip your iPod into it and it sits kind of in a nice little angle, it looks really cool. It charges your iPod and it*s connected to your computer. So the moment you put your iPod in it not only starts to charge it off of the power of the computer, but it also syncs up any new Podcast you may have gotten, any new music you may have downloaded and purchased from the iTunes Music Store or any new CDs you may have ripped into mp3s. It syncs all that up automatically and it*s much easier to just slip this into this little cradle than it is to actually have a cable hanging off and trying to connect it to the bottom of the cable and finding some place to lay the iPod while it works. And then you know I am just going through my little case here. I actually bought a Monster Cable makes this package that includes a carrying case, and a charging cable, a headphone splitter, so that you can share what*s going on in your iPod with friends. A car charger, it has a little plug in for the cigarette
