[pct-l] Nano Gear for the Trail

[Tortoise]

Another gadget useful with your iPod and with many other players is the 
DLO TransDock micro all-in-one in-car FM transmitter and charger. The 
unit plugs into your power outlet (aka cigarette lighter) and connect to 
the dock connector on your iPod. The unit will charge your iPod and 
low-power broadcast the audio to the FM radio in your car. Then you and 
all your passengers can listen to your iPod as you travel. This unit 
works very well. It will broadcast on most all the FM spectrum. I like 
it on long road trips especially out here where radio reception is 
spotty and radio programs are so-so. Would come in handy on long drives 
to/from the trail.
