Second attempt, this time with real details, after the jump.

iPod and the Car Stereo

iPod and the Car Stereo 01/04/2005 08:49 AM

App le's iPod rocks car-stereo makers: It looks like L awyer Milloy was way ahead of his time.

Looking to capitalize on the digital music player's sales success over the holidays, auto electronics makers are rushing to develop plug-in adapters that let drivers pick tunes from their iPods using the controls of their car stereos.

It's a market that can't be ignored: Some retailers sold out of Apple Computer's iPod during the holiday shopping blitz. Analysts estimated Apple sold more than 4 million iPods during the holiday rush; that could push the number of iPod users to 10 million.

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.

The iPod Is The Remote (Or Should Be)

The iPod Is The Remote (Or Should Be) 07/19/2004 08:14 PM

July 19, 2004

I'm a little disappointed with the new iPods, currently gracing the cover of this week's Newsweek. Not because they'll do anything to interrupt Apple's brilliant financial roll, but because they don't really solve any problems that I'm currently looking to have solved. My two AirPort Express units arrived a few days ago, and so I've been tinkering with a true wi-fi audio network in my house for the first time. Part of that experience has been amazing: I've got digital optical line-ins delivering music to my living room speakers from the G5 upstairs in the study. For the first time, I can think about a single hard drive holding my entire music collection, and serving songs out to whatever speakers in the house need them. (Until now I've been shuffling songs on and off the iPod, and then hooking it up to the stereo manually.) So that much is fabulous. The problem is -- as others have noted, including some Apple execs themselves -- I don't have a remote. I'm downstairs in the living room listening to music streamed from the upstairs computer, which sounds cool on paper, but then you actually sit down to listen and realize you have to walk up the stairs to press pause, much less change the music.

Given that this iPod announcement was coming right on the heels of the Airport Extremes shipping, I was hoping that the new models might address the issue. Because what I need now in my iPod is not more storage space, or Mini-style color designs -- what I need is wi-fi. I want my iPod to double as an audio remote control when I'm sitting in my living room. I want to be able to call up any song on any computer in home network, and direct it to any set of speakers, right from the iPod scrollwheel. If the song's stored on the iPod itself, fine. But I should also be able to co-ordinate the transfer of songs from the upstairs G5 to the downstairs Airport Express from the iPod as well.

Yes, it would cost more money to integrate wi-fi into the iPod, and cut down battery life as well. But I'd happily pay a premium to have one small device that could control the entire music network, and battery life doesn't matter so much if the unit is just triggering the transfer of files from one wi-fi client to another, and not participating the transfer itself. Like many people, apparently, my wife and I have already decided that it makes economic sense to have a regular iPod for normal music listening, and a mini for super-mobile music settings (jogging mostly.) I can easily imagine making the decision to add a third iPod to the mix: the home audio remote -- short on storage and battery life, but long on wi-fi. (And yes, I'm aware that there are several third-party products that can do variations of this already.)

And of course, anyone who buys one of these wi-fi iPods will inevitably end up shelling out the cash to buy at least one Airport Express unit, for the sheer giddy pleasure of whipping out your iPod in the kitchen and putting a song on the upstairs stereo. Most of these people will be Windows users, of course. At that point, they'll have their music software built by Apple, their wireless network built by Apple, and their portable music device built by Apple. How much more do you need before you start thinking about having your operating system built by Apple as well?

Turn your iPod into a universal remote

Turn your iPod into a universal remote 07/27/2004 11:04 AM
This week's Engadget HOWTO is a project to turn your iPod into a universal remote.

How did we do this? Basically, we “recorded” the “sounds” an infrared remote makes on a PC and then put them on an iPod as songs. Adding a special sound-to-IR converter then turns those sounds back to IR and allows you to use your iPod as a remote control. As an added bonus, it works up to 100 feet. It’s a slick all-in-one unit and we’re never going back to 6 remotes ever again.
