TARGUS FM TRANSMITTER
Ever since the iPod was released by Apple,
the portable music industry has boomed and just about every man and
their dog has access to an MP3 player. However the main issue with MP3
players is the quality of the accessories that are available for the
unit. A small inexpensive speaker set generally sounds too hallow or
tinny for these devices, so for top quality, the best alternative is to
either use headphones or connect them to an amplifier. Unfortunately
that hampers the portability of the unit.
However, Targus have come with alternative
to this method with the latest accessory for the MP3 market, the Targus
FM Transmitter (AAT01AP) that allows you to easily connect your iPod,
Laptop, PC or any other device to your FM radio. Simply by plugging in
your device into the FM Transmitter, you can almost immediately
begin to listen to your very own music on the radio.

The installation of the FM Transmitter was
a breeze as it simply just plugged into our iPod (the unit also comes
with batteries and a cigarette lighter adapter) and then we had select a
frequency on the device and then tune in our FM radio. The device also
has 5 preset memory frequencies so you can be assured interference free
broadcasts. Another nifty feature of the transmitter is that it actually
tells you the strength of the signal that allows you to fine tune for
improved transmission.
I must admit that the quality of the FM
Transmitter is flawless and the quality depends on your FM radio. As the
device has a range of 10 metres, listening to the FM transmitter in our
car was almost CD quality. With up to 30 hours battery life, the Targus
FM Transmitter is the perfect accessory for your MP3 Player, PC or
laptop that perfectly lets you listen to all your music on your stereo
system.
The design of the FM Transmitter feels and
looks like an official iPod accessory with its bright white case and
back light screen, making the display easily read in a wide variety of
environments.
