How’s that for bad timing. Last week Griffin Technology announce the availability of their long awaited iTrip. This plugs into the iPod and allows you to tune radios in the vicinity to the portable player. It’s similar to other products on the market, but is much sexier and matches the iPod design. Only problem is that it doesn’t fit the new iPods which was just announced by apple yesterday.
From Griffin’s web site :
“The new iPods and the iTrip: The currently shipping iTrip supports the original iPod with the Firewire port on top. Information about a new iTrip that supports the just announced iPods will be released shortly.“
I hope they announce soon. I’m planning on buying a new iPod in the next month, and would like to place an order for an iTrip at the same time.
Update (10 May 2003) : iPoding, in their iTrip review, mentions that the new iTrip model will be available in June 2003. I’m wondering if that will be the announce date with general availability soon after.
