Griffin Technology Inc. on Thursday announced the release of their AirClick Remote for iPod and iPod mini, a remote control designed, as you might have guessed, to work with Apple's iPod and iPod mini. The AirClick Remote is different from most iPod remote controls because it works using Radio Frequency (RF) technology instead of infrared, so it doesn't require a line of sight to the iPod and can operate up to 60 feet away, according to Griffin. It's shipping now for US$39.99.

So what do you have to do to win?

Griffin unveils 3-in-1 RoadTrip for
iPod, iPod mini 08/13/2004 07:17 AM
Griffin Technology has introduced RoadTrip, a 3-in-1 device that provides an FM transmitter, charger and cradle for all dock-capable iPod and iPod mini MP3 players. The transmitter broadcasts your music on any FM frequency on your car stereo, with a backlit display that shows which frequency is in use, while the charger keeps your iPod's battery at full capacity. The RoadTrip plugs into any 12-volt outlet or cigarette lighter in your car and its transmitter unit can be removed and plugged into a USB port on your computer, enabling music broadcast from it to any nearby FM stereo. Griffin has left the top of the US$79.99 device open for use with other iPod accessories, which means RoadTrip isn't compatible with the 1G and 2G iPods that have FireWire ports on top.

Tokyo-based Tunewear on Wednesday announced four new accessories for use with the iPod or iPod mini: Prie Hook cases, Poptune removable wrappers, Waterwear water-resistant cases and aluminum clips for the company's Icewear mini cases. Prie Hook, which will ship in mid-January for US$54, features a large metal hook that you can use to attach the leather case to a belt loop or other spot. A flap at the bottom opens for charging the MP3 player in a dock; slots at the top and bottom allow access to all the ports. It's available in two models, one that fits all 4G iPods -- including the iPod photo -- and one that fits the iPod mini; the hook on the latter doesn't swivel 360 degrees, however.

SendStation Systems and RadTech have released two new PocketDock models and MiniSleevz for iPod mini, respectively. SendStation's PocketDock is an adapter that allows users to connect their iPods to their Macs with standard FireWire cables instead of Apple's docking cables. The company's new PocketDock Combo (US$22.95) contains USB and FireWire ports that accept standard USB cables as well as 6-pin FireWire cables. The PocketDo ck Line Out ($29.95) also features a 6-pin FireWire port but adds a 3.5mm (1/8-inch) stereo jack that bypasses the iPod's headphones amplifier for better sound quality when connecting the MP3 player to external speakers. It comes with two six-foot white audio cables. Both PocketDock models are available now and are compatible with Apple's 10, 15, 20, 30 and 40GB iPods, as well as the iPod mini.

iPod Your BMW: iPod Mini Yes, Mini
Cooper Maybe No 06/25/2004 07:15 AM

As eagle-eyed reader Thomas Shebest pointed out to me, it looks as if Apple has removed the Mini (car) from its BMWYourIpod page. Either the Mini isn't supported any longer, or, more likely, someone within BMW's marketing department didn't want to dillute the Beemer brand with their low-end cousin. Whichever -- it's still been removed from the site.

iPod Firmware Petition

iPod Firmware Petition 07/22/2004 01:22 PM
With the recent release of the 4G iPods, Apple released an iPod firmware update adding new features/functionality to the iPod. Unfortunately, the new features are only available to 4G ("click wheel") iPods?leaving the not-so-old 3G iPods in the dust. When I first heard about this, my first response was, "Why can?t they just release the same firmware upgrade for both the 3G and 4G models?" I don?t know about models older than 3G, but as far as I know, the new model is exactly the same as the 3G. The firmware could easily work for both. This seems to be a marketing ploy on Apple?s part. Get the people who want these simple new features to buy a whole new iPod. Well, people aren?t buying it. Enter the Apple iPod Firmware Petition, signed by over 3,000 people when this entry was posted, which states the following:

To: Apple Computer We, the owners of previous models of the Apple iPod (1G/2G/3G), believe that we have been snubbed by Apple. With each new generation some or many of the new features added are only software changes, and could be easily added to past iPods with a firmware update. But instead of updating older iPods, Apple has simply ignored older users. We believe that any new improvements that can be added via firmware to the older generation iPods should be instituted Sincerely, The Undersigned

Being a 3G 15GB owner myself, I must agree. How about you?

HP Offers iPod Mini

HP Offers iPod Mini 06/06/2005 12:13 AM
HP has expanded its line of digital music players to include Apple's IPod Mini. The company said that the miniature player will be available from its Web site beginning Sunday, with the Apple IPod Mini from HP hitting major retailers shortly thereafter. HP's prices will be the same--$200 for a 4GB model, and $250 for a 6GB model.

HP's enormous retail distribution channel and emphasis on appealing to Windows-centric users may give the IPod Mini further penetration into the mass market. HP and Apple first announced a partnership more than a year ago, to bring IPods to HP's customers and make the devices available through HP's considerable retail distribution channels. HP also includes Apple's ITunes software pre-installed on all its PCs.

Doraemon iPod mini

Doraemon iPod mini 02/05/2005 10:17 PM

An extremely limited-edition Doraemon iPod mini will be launching today in Japan, with just 1,000 units to be made. Each model will include a baby blue iPod with the strange anime cat thing inscribed on the back, a carrying case, as well as five custom touch wheel covers to add a little of your own personal kawaii flair. If you must have one, Semsons will be importing a few for $490 a pop—that's a heck of a mark-up for an iPod mini, but if you're a Western Doraemon fan, you're already not quite firing on all cylinders. (Thanks, Tony!)
