News: Griffin ships AirClick Remote for
iPod, iPod mini
03/31/2005 07:35 PMGriffin 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)

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?

Your iPod Into a Remote Control'
As if the iPod was not able to do enough already! Phillip Torrone
shows his readers how you can turn an otherwise ordinary iPod into a
universal remote extraordinaire! The funny part is the fact that they
are using a Windows application on an Apple device. To me, it sounds
like too much work, but what the heck. It might be a fun
mini-project….
Turn your iPod into a universal remote
Turn your iPod into a universal remote
07/27/2004 11:04 AMThis 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.

an interface that’s undeniably Apple. From the ease with which
one loads photos on to the device to the browsing of thumbnails and

Macworld review: iPod Voice Recorders
Macworld review: iPod Voice Recorders
08/27/2004 02:02 PMUntil recently, iPods could receive information only from a computer
-- contacts, calendars, and MP3 files all had to be imported. Now the
iPod can be used as a recording device, too, for directly storing and
playing back audio. You're not going to want to record your band's
demo on your iPod, but if you want to capture close-range interviews
or voice memos, the Belkin Voice Recorder for iPod and the Griffin
Technology iTalk iPod Voice Recorder can get the job done. In the end,
though, the Griffin is our pick, thanks to its better sound quality.
Belkin TuneDok iPod Car Holder Review
Belkin TuneDok iPod Car Holder Review
06/11/2004 08:17 AM
Far be it from me
to begrudge anyone the opportunity to tear apart a ridiculous consumer
product, but no matter what the guys at Whining Dog say, I think this
Belkin TuneDok iPod holder is pretty clever. It's basically just a
simple travel holder for your iPod, doesn't do anything terribly
fancy, or electronic, even, but it does have the good graces to slip
comfortably into any available cupholder you have in your car, putting
your iPod at a more comfortable eye-level (hopefully) and saving it
from unsightly scratches.
You might say the $40 price tag sort isn't in line with its overall
usefulness, and you'd be right, but when these things invariably drop
to $9.98 at your local Best Buy, it's not going to look like such a
rip off.

Sony VAIO Pocket Review, iPod Comparison
Sony VAIO Pocket Review, iPod Comparison
06/09/2004 09:10 AM
If you want to stumble through the Babelfish
translation, AV Watch Japan has a review of the Sony VAIO Pocket, the
hard disk-based music player that's getting the most buzz as Sony's
attempt to create an iPod-killer. Among other things, they compare
sizes (!), and really that battery nodule on the back of the VAIO
Pocket does it a disservice in pictures -- it's not nearly as big as
it seems. Of course, the chink in the VAIO Pocket's armor is its
inability to play any format but Sony's proprietary ATRAC3, meaning
every song you want to copy to the VAIO Pocket has to be converted.
20GB of conversion is going to be sucky, but manageable; it's really
just the principle of the thing (even Apple, head up their AAC, lets
the iPod play MP3).
