Finally, freedom from the cassette adapter that I’ve had in the car for so many years. Though I still need to keep it around should I want to connect the CD player in the car… like that’ll happen!

\nAfter a mere 4 month wait<\/a>, I’ve acquired a Griffin Technology iTrip<\/a> for my iPod mini. I opted to get the “normal” version of the iTrip because of reports about suboptimal range on the “mini” version, plus I wanted to save a dollar or two. Frankly, I don’t care if it’s a seamless integration, at least in terms of aesthetics. The estimated ship date from the Apple Store was October 12; I was pleasantly surprised that it shipped the same evening I ordered it (October 7). The UPS man brought me my toy this afternoon.<\/p>\n

I’m reasonably pleased with it so far. The only thing that went wrong would’ve been resolved simply if I had read the instructions first. It’s now happily broadcasting on 88.5 MHz.<\/p>\n

The only comment I have about the iTrip so far is that the frequency response isn’t really pleasing; it’s rated for 15-15000 Hz. I wish it had a bit more on the high end, to be honest. We’ll see what it sounds like in the car, though with my current work schedule, perhaps not until Wednesday.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
