Comments on: Back in Black: iPod Nano + Griffin iTrip http://www.aelon.net/2008/03/back-in-black-ipod-nano-griffin-itrip/ Random babblings from a few digitally inclined people Sat, 10 May 2008 22:07:02 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.0.2 by: Cyrris http://www.aelon.net/2008/03/back-in-black-ipod-nano-griffin-itrip/#comment-4103 Wed, 12 Mar 2008 07:14:49 +0000 http://www.aelon.net/2008/03/back-in-black-ipod-nano-griffin-itrip/#comment-4103 Honestly I think I would need to hear the same song being played on a radio station and then on my iTrip before I could make a proper comparison. At first I thought the quality was a little less on the iTrip, but then the radio station I was listening to was playing classical orchestral stuff which is always clear as a bell. If they're that close though, I think that pretty much answers your question. The iTrip also lets you transmit in either mono or stereo, but I actually can't tell the difference between them in the car. Not sure what is up with that.

I'd love to use my iPod in the car but had always assumed that the audio quality from an FM transmitter would be rubbish. Finally, assuming that the screen size is OK for it, the games for the iPod are surprisingly good. Unfortunately, you can't get <a href="http://phobos.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewGame?id=188710059&#38;s=143444" rel="nofollow">Zuma</a> yet for the Nano, but <a href="http://phobos.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewGame?id=260352875&#38;s=143444" rel="nofollow">The Sims Pool</a> is a pretty reasonable pool simulator, my wife swears by <a href="http://phobos.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewGame?id=188701246&#38;s=143444" rel="nofollow">Cubis 2</a>, and <a href="http://phobos.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewGame?id=270226578&#38;s=143444" rel="nofollow">Peggle</a> is the gaming equivalent of crack. <a href="http://phobos.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewGame?id=270226845&#38;s=143444" rel="nofollow">Bomberman</a> is also available but I've not gotten around to trying that yet and the lack of multiplayer will be an issue.

Unfortunately, you can’t get Zuma yet for the Nano, but The Sims Pool is a pretty reasonable pool simulator, my wife swears by Cubis 2, and Peggle is the gaming equivalent of crack.
