Kensington launches new kind of FM transmitter for iPod
According to Kensington, "RDS is now available in most vehicle models offered by leading U.S. and foreign automakers. Our research indicates that over 80 percent of all new cars being sold in the U.S. include RDS-enabled stereos. RDS is a hugely popular feature and is quickly becoming mainstream. The new Kensington RDS FM Transmitter is the first to allow iPod consumers to take advantage of this exciting car stereo technology."
The transmitter itself is in-line style, with the iPod connecting to the end of the cable via a dock connector. It includes three presets and allows station info to appear on your iPod's LCD. In addition, it's made for all iPods with dock connectors except 3G iPods. The RDS feature works with the iPod Nano or a video iPod. We'll have a review of this interesting FM transmitter shortly.
