On a side note, I'd like to say I almost prefer these types of FM transmitters to the iTrip or the extra bulky charging dock + fm transmitter + latte maker + plug into your car to jump start it things that are out there now. First off, they run off their own power (I think a triple A battery), so they're not sucking juice out of your already worn down iPod battery life. Another benefit that I see is that whenever I use my iTrip, I always have to fidget around with my iPod before the iTrip recognizes that it is plugged in and actually starts transmitting. With these, you just turn them on and they're ready to go. Yah beat me to it Michael.
