TMO at MWSF - More New Products from Griffin Technology

by , 12:00 PM EST, January 14th, 2005

Griffin Technology continues to roll out new products at Macworld Expo, announcing three more Thursday and Friday.

RocketFMFirst up, RocketFM is a USB bus-powered FM transmitter that allows a Mac to transmit its audio over any available FM frequency through a home, car, or office stereo system. The device is especially handy for travelers who can use their laptop to transmit audio to a radio in their hotel room or temporary office space. RocketFM will ship later this quarter for $39.99.

Next, TuneJuice is a supplemental battery for iPods with a dock connector (including iPod mini) that accepts a 9V battery and provides up to 8 hours of additional power. TuneJuice will also ship in the first quarter for $19.99.

TuneDockLastly, Dock800 is a FireWire 800 iPod dock connector. Dock800 is designed less for the extra performance offered by FireWire 800 and more for the convenience that using a FireWire 800 port offers. PowerBooks, for example, only have one FireWire 400 and one FireWire 800 port. With Dock800, users can plug their iPod into their PowerBook while keeping the more popular FireWire 400 port free. Dock800 is available for pre-order for $14.99 and like the other Griffin products will ship later this quarter.

Subject: TuneJuice or ttuneDock?

The article says TuneJuice, but the picture calls it the TuneDock...

Typo?

Subject: TuneDock ... and more

There is a device called the TuneDok by Belkin--an iPod holder that fits into the cupholder on a car's center console. Belkin also makes two add-on power packs, the Backup Battery Pack for $60 (I have one) that uses 4 AA batteries rather than a 9v battery, and the TunePower, a rechargeable battery pack for $100 (currently sold out, as one might expect). Both have sleeves or clips that the iPod fits into and a very short cable, so they're more compact than the Griffin device. They're a lot more expensive, though.
