Value-Added Features
DesignUnique Durable Design. Available in traditional iPod white or sleek black (for a limited time), PodFreq requires no batteries and uses a very small amount of power from your iPod. Its durable latching case (with built-in swiveling stand) protects your iPod while leaving its controls easily accessible. The telescoping antenna increases the available FM transmisson range (unlike other FM transmitters) and assures a consistent reception.

DisplayDigital Display. PodFreq's digital tuner with LCD display is visible at a glance, so you don't have to fumble around in menus trying to find which frequency you've selected. With a few simple clicks of the up/down tuning buttons, you can select an optimal drift-free broadcasting to any frequency between 88.3 and 107.7 MHz in 0.1 steps.

PortsDock Substitute. Since PodFreq connects to your iPod through the dock connector, we decided to add mini-USB 2.0 and FireWire® ports to PodFreq's case—you can charge and sync your iPod(1) right inside it. No messing around with additional cables or docks. Everything is self-contained. Sync and transfer music and files and/or charge your iPod without removing it from PodFreq (FireWire or mini-USB 2.0 cable required, sold separately).

Headphone PortAccessible Jacks. PodFreq doesn't connect to the headphone jack, so we made the headphone jack accessible—you can plug in for private listening at any time with separate volume control while you broadcast. PodFreq will also continue broadcasting to a selected FM frequency for those looking to hear your tunes.

Compatible with iPod models with dock connector:

iPod classic, iPod (with video), iPod (with color display), iPod photo, iPod (with Click Wheel), iPod (with touch wheel and buttons)
