Aerielle i2i FM Transmitter and Charger for iPod and MP3 Players (Black)

I owned and used a DLO FM transmitter for the Creative Zen Vision:M until it fell apart (and the Zen Vision:M itself was replaced by a Zen 32GB), so I needed a new one. Not having an iPod narrowed down the choices considerably, and eventually, after doing a lot of research, I decided to risk the Aerielle i2i.

My reasons:
1. It works with any MP3 player because it functions via the headphone jack;
2. It can charge any MP3 player -- or any other electronic device, for that matter -- that charges on USB, and play music at the same time;
3. You can input any FM frequency between 88.1 and 107.9, especially useful when you're looking for an unused FM frequency in a big town;

I have tried many FM transmitters for my Zune and this one seems to be the best available. It provides static-free reception much better than Monster, Griffin, Belkin, or the other devices on the consumer market. As another review stated, you must select a frequency where a station is not broadcasting. Otherwise, you will receive interference and bleed-over from adjacent stations. There is not a consumer-grade FM transmitter that is strong enough to block local stations due to regulations from the FCC and other countries.

I bought two different FM converters from other vendors and returned them. This unit provides the best quality and flexibility to use with iPhone/iPod and a built in USB charger. Great thinking in design. Kudos to the product disigners.
