iPod FM Tuner Canceled

iPodHacks.com reported that the previously announced Griffin iFM Radio for the iPod has been canceled.

According to a letter sent to customers who had pre-ordered the product, the product was finally discontinued due to the discontinuation of the iPod Wired Remote Control as a separate purchase item as well as technical changes in the 3rd Generation iPods.

There would be a lot of angry people out there if that happened.

Like me.

I thought that I would have to settle with no car playback when I got my brand new iPod on the 20th. If that's released, there will be a lot of people who bought an iPod with their Christmas money, or as a gift who will feel cheated by apple.

Oh no! I spent $400 on an iPod, Apple BETTER not upgrade their products! That's just cheating me! We have to hold back the industry 6 months while I get my money's worth!


If that was how the tech industry worked, we'd be on 100mhz computers.

You're right. I'm sick and tired of Apple releasing all this *new* crap. I have the 10GB 2nd generation iPod, and just imagine my seething anger when the 40GB models came out. I mean, How dare they! They shoud not have sold ANY iPods this Christmas, if they knew a new one was just around the corner. The consumer need to be protected from innovation like that!

Now, on a more rational and logical note...
What does an iPod with a tuner have to do with your car stereo? Did you mean FM Transmitter?

What does an FM tuner have to do with playback in your car? This is not the FM transmitter to play your iPod through your car radio, it's a way to listen to radio ON your iPod.

As for an FM transmitter, I'd recommend a cassette adapter. At least here, way too hard to find an available frequency.
