Saturday, October 28th, 2006

The ‘Spin Master’ ipod cases are definitely he the strangest ipod accessories we’ve seen to date…

The ‘Beatz’ lets you drop ‘funky beatz’ and the ‘Remix’ lets you “remix”— they can be chained together so you and your buddy can work together. See them in action at You Tube.

iTrips to be Legalized in Uk!

Monday, July 24th, 2006
From ZDNET: Ofcom is relaxing its regulation of low-power FM transmitters, in a boost for CB nuts and those who want to play their iPod through their car stereo.Ofcom has cut the ties on another section of the airwaves in a move that will free up iPod accessories and CB radios.
The communications watchdog has decided to deregulate low-power Worlds leading iPod Accessories Griffin iTripFM transmitters, which had previous been banned in the UK on the grounds they could interfere with broadcast systems.
An Ofcom spokesman said: “We’ve now looked at the interference possibility and have taken a practical view that the risk is fairly low and that legalising them is [OK] given the high market demand.”
Ofcom has been spurred into action by consumer fondness for devices such as the iTrip, which lets drivers play iPods through car stereos, when tuned in to the mini transmitters, and is now putting its head together with other European regulators to come up with a joint approach.

iTrips to become legal in Ireland, says Comreg

Tuesday, July 18th, 2006

People using iTrips, the small radio-transmitting gadgetsGriffin iTrip NAno used for connecting iPods to car and home stereos, will soon be law-abiding citizens. Comreg, the telecoms regulator, has revealed to this blog that it is to soon decriminalise the use of such short-distance transmitters. The only catch is that the items will have to have the ‘CE’ mark, indicating that they conform with EU standards (meaning that models imported from the US will remain illegal). iTrips were sold in Irish shops for a short while until Comreg clamped down on retailers, pointing out the rather anachronous broadcasting legislation.
