Buyer Beware! .......2007-09-14

In spite of the product description, this will not work as a wired remote for the ipod 3G. The radio works but you might feel a bit silly hauling around a $200+ ipod to serve as a battery for a radio. There has got to be a better way!Griffin iFM (Dock Connector) / FM Radio and Wired Remote Control for iPod

A really bad choice.......2007-07-27

Save your money. The construction is extremely cheap. My Griffin iFM fell apart in a couple of months! I couldn't put it back together because the controls don't line up and the sides won't glue. I wish I could find another alternative but I can't find one.

Besides that, one will have to carry two devices from now on instead of one, and this Griffin has long chords, that will twist and tangle all the time.

Having to add a device like this iFM is ridiculous. It would be better to just use another device with FM rather than lugging around an Ipod just to power up this other device. Apple should really think about this...

Don't see the point .......2007-05-01

I bought the iFM to use with my new Nano. The only relationship it has with the Ipod is to use it for power. When you plug this into the Ipod, you now have 2 separate devices to carry; the Ipod does not even have to be on for the iFM to work. Ipod really needs to add the FM tuner because having to add a device like the iFM is ridiculous. It would be better to just use another device with FM rather than lugging around an Ipod just to power up this other device.

I don't own this...but consider these other options.......2007-02-10

I have both an iPod Nano and Sandisk Sansa e250. If you don't already own an iPod but is thinking of getting one along with this iFM Radio, consider this:
Cost of iPod+FM = $145+$36=$181
Cost of Sansa = $107

The Sandisk (or even the Zen or the new Samsung) has many more features (MP3 player, Photo viewer, Video player, Voice recorder, FM Radio and MicroSD memory expansion slot) for much less money. I must admit, the iPod is definitely more sexy and more user friendly. I just wish Apple wouldn't get too greedy and instead integrate the FM Radio feature in the next release of iPods.

Value for money.......2006-11-18

Pros:
Good FM reception
good remote functionality
value for money

Cons:
build qaulity seems to be fragile, it still intact for me.
Eqaulizer button is too small to be usable.
both ipod dock connector and head phone jack come from the bottom, it would have been better if headphone jack comes out of the top
