Broadcast iPod Touch Music with FM Transmitter

Monday, May 5th, 2008

As I mentioned in my wish list, I want to get a FM transmitter to broadcast music from my little iPod touch. Actually, I think Apple should include build in speaker for iPod in my opinion. Fortunately, I have got my FM transmitter to solve my need.

I have ordered the black color FM transmitter on last Wednesday and received it on Friday. Basically it just took 1 business day to send to my door step. Good seller and courier service!

Why Choose this FM Transmitter?

Why I choose this FM transmitter specifically for iPod? There are so many type of FM transmitter in the market, especially the MP3 audio line type. I have choosen the model designed for iPod due to its Digital PLL wave signal transmission. The signal reception won’t be affected easily and for sure is clearer.

As stated in the FM transmitter manual, the device can transmit between 87.9Mhz ~ 107.9Mhz frequency range. This mean we can define which range to use to broadcast. I found that the higher frequency works better. Some say the FM transmitter can transmit it’s signal within 10-30 feets. I have not experiment on the maximum length, but it works well when my iPod touch was 10 feets away from radio. This should be enough for use at home or in car.

This FM tranmitter model has another benefit is it allow to charge our iPod while broadcasting music. Most FM transmitter not allow that. I pay more for this function which is worth the price. (more…)

Bought: Sonic Gear EVO III Pro Speaker

Tuesday, April 29th, 2008

After got my Adsense payment yesterday, I was so excited to buy some gadgets that I have planned to buy few months ago. I know some of you might interested to know how much i’ve earned? I won’t tell you the exact figure, but I will tell you what I bought with these pocket money. ;)

Wish List

These are 3 gadgets in my wish list long ago. I would like to buy them with my earnings:

A new spectacles - The spectacles that Im wearing is about 3 years old. The glass become blur and not so clear. It’s time to change a new one. I prefer to get a thin frame with half curve + UV glass. I tried to search a suitable one yesterday night, but can’t get. Will check on other shops later.

FM Transmitter for iPod Touch - As I mentioned in my iPod touch review, iPod touch lack of build in speaker. To resolve this problem, Im still searching for a FM transmitter for iPod touch to broadcast my musics in cars or at home via radio frequency.

Speaker for Desktop Computer - My old speaker on desktop computer has just few watts and more than 4 years old. Some time it even cannot output sound due to its wire loose. I have found and bought a suitable speaker Sonic Gear EVO III Pro. It come with two satellite speaker and a sub-woofer. I have chosen glossy black color to match my black LG 19″ wide screen LCD monitor. I would say its sound quality is great for clarity. No driver installation needed, just plug and play.

  • 1″ Tweeter, 3″ Full Range Driver and 4″ Bass driver (enclosed)
