By taking advantage of iPhone OS 3.0's app integration, the iTrip accessory let's you fiddle with your touchscreen rather than buttons on a tiny accessory:

Users connect iTrip to their iPhone or iPod touch running iPhone OS 3.0, open the app, and are greeted with a large, simple display showing tuning controls and a SmartScan button, Griffin's trademark technology that instantly locates the best available frequency.

The iTrip accessory is available for $50, while the corresponding app is free in the App Store. [Griffin]

Unfortunately, we don't think the green and blue versions match entirely, but with an LCD screen for FM station display and great styling to accompany your iPod nano, you cannot go far wrong. Pricing and shipping details are not available at present, but we shouldn't imagine you will be waiting too long. [Akihabara News]

That's surely enough to make even Mr. Bond a bit envious (although I'm sure those innards would be packed in something from Omega, or whoever the sponsor for the next film ends up being). The watch not only plays files and do the iTrip-thing, great for car travel, but also includes a voice recorder—perfect for on-the-street podcast recordings—as well as line-in recording. Capacity runs three sizes (512MB, 1GB, 2GB), and transfers are done through the included USB cables (USB 2.0 port on the watch). It's even water resistant! Thank you, Thanko. [Thanko RareMono Shop]

Of course, this is Belkin's tacit acknowledgment that the better bet would probably be frequency-hopping FM transmitters like the newly announced Kensington QuickSeek, which we told you about. Still, it should be helpful. My Best FM Stations provides various options in each vicinity, so that if pesky pirates ever pop up on the airwaves to feed you some truth, you'll have somewhere else to turn. – Wilson Rothman

Greenhouse has come out with a titchy FM transmitter for the second-generation iPod nano. The GH-FTC-IPOD2N comes with the longest name ever and weighs just 0.35 ounces (10 grams). Available in five colors, it also comes with its own car charger. It costs $30 in Japan now, but given the iPod craze, it won't be long before it hits the world like a son-of-Godzilla Nano. – Ad Dugdale

The PowerFM is what I would typically call a pretty useless product. It's a silicone case, an FM Transmitter and a back up battery for the iPod Nano & fifth-generation iPods. However, the three features have been combined well enough to make this into potentially a Tri-Force-like gadget. That's right, finally someone had enough foresight to think that we don't want to carry around 50 extra gadgets just to make our iPods do what we want.

Here's hoping that the battery actually lasts, the FM transmitter creates a decent signal, and the case keeps the scratches off. Otherwise we've got yet another wasted attempt at a potentially useful iPod accessory. The PowerFM will go on sale in December for $80.– Ben Longo

This gadget attaches to the dock adapter on all newer iPods. Simply blow on the straw for five seconds to determine you blood alcohol content. Also included in this device is an FM transmitter! Therefore giving it a reason to be attached to an iPod. The iBreath is available for $80 from David Steele, whoever that is. – Travis Hudson

Looks like Griffin has really gone out of their way to make the design for the Nano iTrip FM transmitter flawless. The iPod Nano sits inside the iTrip as if it were a dock. Don't worry, it'll stay put with Griffin's kung-fu grip technology or whatever, so no worries about it coming loose and smashing on the pavement. You can now adjust settings, such as which frequency you'll use to transmit to, on the Nano's screen. The new iTrip also features SmartSound volume control, selectable mono or stereo modes, stores the last 3 used station presets and supports US, International and Japanese tuning modes. I've always had success with Griffin's iTrip so I'm sure it'll kick 100x more ass for the Nano then for the original iPod. Ships in November and will set you back 50 big ones.
