If you find yourself needing a big battery boost for your iPod, check out an older article I did on the Tekkeon myPower battery pack for the iPod. My wife loves the myPower because it gives her weeks between charges and the added size profile is not a big problem for her.
Now she wanted to use her iPod in her car like I do with my FM transmitter on the top, but she brought up a great point. When she uses the popular FM transmitter, she cannot switch her key lock without taking the transmitter off. Seeing that locking your keys and unlocking them is a handy feature while in a car, she was not happy with the top-mounted FM transmitter.
Tekkeon has the answer for her. myPower FM simply snaps on to myPower for iPod. Once myPower FM is connected, just tune to any of the seven pre-set channels to listen to music from iPod directly on your FM radio or stereo. This leaves the top of your iPod clear. Here are the main features.
Plug and play – no software required One-touch channel tuner provides quick access to seven FM frequencies
Easy-to-see indicators show selected FM frequency
Powered by myPower for iPod, so it doesn’t drain the iPod battery
Quickly snaps on to myPower for iPod
MSRP is $34.95
