I think Jack meant that with iTrip he can broadcast a FM signal from his iPod that can be picked up by any radio, ie car, house, neighbour etc.

That's what swung it for me, decent case for gym/jogging, lighter weight, smaller size and fantastic UI, the scroll wheel is amazing

In fact, the Apple refurb store still seems to have stock, 20gb comes in at £209.00

loads of info about it here:

So what. If looks were everything, why would people still be buying Imprezas? Hardly the most elegant looking car in the world.

In what way?

Have you actually listened to one Gary? I thought it sounded better than the iPod (IMHO of course ). Not only that, but they've had some exceedingly good reviews. If I was going to go jogging with it, then I might want something smaller, but as I only use it for work, it's ideal.

As for listening in the car, I just plugged the zen into the aux in of my head unit. No need for nasty lossy fm broadcasts

Be careful with eBay. I've heard some horror stories about people loosing their money etc, but as long as you go with a recommended (from more than one place) supplier, you should be safe.

 

Listen to your iPod in car without FM

I would argue that the device could affect about 10% of the quality, the headphones would account for the other 90%.

That is a very good point, I switched from the Apple headphones to Sony ones (manly because I didn't want to walk around with white wires) and the sound quality is much better than the standard ones.

 

I use these Sennheiser MX-500 headphones, £14.99 on maplin website, 19.99 in store. Seem good enough to me, never tried the stock iPod ones as heard so many bad stories about them!!

 

I used the same set of headphones in both for comparison (Senheiser ones).

And they don't make an ice-link for my head unit (Pinoeer)

 

Alpine have an iPOD compatible model in the works apparently. Some good work on Scooby intergration over on www.nasioc.com
