    How about I take the money I would spend on this highly overpriced Griffin cable, and put it in an account and buy a iTab?

    Because the Dorkmobile is old, I just put in a new radio with a rear USB. It's not as kludgy as an FM transmitter, allows me to control the music on the radio, and gives me HD radio.

    I just think that the FM transmitter solution is starting to show its years.

    @OMG! Ponies!: Same. I got tired of the static and crappy audio quality from my iTrip, so I picked up a Clarion head-unit for $200, about the same price as adding an aftermarket iPhone/iPod adapter to the stock radio. Definitely worth it, especially on the 12 hour roadtrips back home. I'd normally be adjusting the station of the iTrip every half hour to get a good signal.

    @OMG! Ponies!: It just depends on the car... My Trailblazer for example kicks out some weird RF while it's running and transmitters don't work at all in my car, yet in my wifes car they are crystal clear.

    I'm thinking that cars which have rear antennas actually stand a better chance of working well with a small transmitter as opposed to front mounted. That's my guess anyways.

    I wonder if this is backwards compatible with their Roadtrip device, that holds the iPhone in place on a gooseneck stick that plugs into your cigarette lighter for charging? Or if they're making a similar Roadtrip-like device for iTrip?

    Their Roadtrip holder thingy would seem especially useful if you were going to access the App's controls on the iPhone, and aren't built in chargers a must for FM transmitters?

    @crabbygeek: I've used Griffin's stuff before and it generally works well as long as you're careful with it. What I've seen haven't exactly been the best-constructed devices in the world, though.

    Of course, the best portable FM transmitter will be crap if you live in an area teeming with radio stations or if you have a car with a poorly-placed antenna. But that's just how it goes.

    i forgot about this feature for OS 3.0. Seems odd that we are just now seeing products that take advantage of it.

    @bw2g: It's only been like three months, right? I would assume that the development, production, and distribution of a new product can't be rushed out in much less time than that.

    So it's a little past midnight, and I'm catching up on today's posts. I see the "priceless" app, think it looks interesting, and download it. Surely I'll be able to ignore the branding crap, right?

    Wrong. Even though I have the ringer disabled, this stupid thing starts talking - as in, reciting a stupid Mastercard ad, and waking up my wife, who was sleeping next to me. Now she's pissed at me.

    "Augmented reality app that finds you cool deals? Free. Not getting laid because your stupid app pissed off the wife? Priceless." Or something.

    So, I'm a little confused.. can developers use the live feed from the camera to overlay augmented reality stuff or not?

    I thought not, but this begs to differ

    @The Human Paradox: I think you're right.

    There were two recent stories on giz about AR apps for the 3GS. The Tube one and the Twitter one. The tube one says that they've submitted it to the app store and are awaiting approval. The twitter one says they can't and then gave a letter saying why.

    I guess we'll see if the twitter and tube apps get approved (and not pulled). Most of what I've seen says they can't access that API.

    I just downloaded Snore Patrol in hope of leaving it on one night and waking up to see a nice graph of when I snore. Unfortunately, it will most definitely not live up to that aspiration. That is one of the most noobified programs I have ever seen. No wonder it's free.

    Do they yet have an app that can augment my iFart apps?

    As they stand, they are all weak in the bass frequencies; I need an assistive app that will enhance that bass, giving it depth and bravado. Until it sounds like you just shredded a vinyl seat, it's not a proper sounding iFart.
