This is the 21st century, how come you can't buy a car stereo with an iPod dock? Why do you have to mess with the loss of quality of transmitting to the FM on your car? There are tons of home speaker docks, why not in the car? Yeah, I know that BMWs have it as an option or something, but I can't believe the rest of this market is untapped (either on purpose or not). K, that's not old school, it's called retro-computing or steampunk: http://jwz.livejournal.com/704272.html To me the iTrip is old-school.

Wonder if it works better than the current FM transmitter, because they look cool but the signal is crap. Judging by the tough look this thing must have a badass signal ;) 3rd!
