My iPod is now 10x cooler
I have a new favorite gadget. Together with the iPod they are a formidable team. It’s an Alpine head (CDA-9847 if you’re interested) together with their KCA-420i iPod adapter. I plug my nano into into the head with a dock connector cable in the glove box. From then on I have instant access to any of the songs on it via the head unit. Artist names and what not can be displayed right on the screen and since it’s a direct connection it sounds amazing. Also a plus, since it’s a dock connection the iPod always stays charged. Viva la Best Buy.
I agree Apple has set the trend. Admittedly most of these players are just glorified hard drives, but I think healthy competition is good competition. I hope the promised iPod phone changes the market and makes us jump forward in trying to catch up with Japan.
Man, this is NICE, i just got my CD Player stolen and i was thinking about buying just an FM Radio and hook it up with my ipod, but this is really nice..
