Navigate: Compact Remote Control For iPhone
Aug. 4 2009, Published 4:36 a.m. ET
If you have an iphone or an iPod then you need one of these- an inline controller and FM Radio for your favorite gizmos.
Brand-new from Griffin, it gives you total control at your fingertips. After just a few time of using it, we could operate it without looking (handy if you’re driving!)
With a generous OLED information screen (in case you want to look at it) it features an on/off, play, volume and EQ controls, and an FM stereo radio. For iPhone users: just plug Navigate into your dock connector, then connect your headset to the headphone jack to listen and talk. $59.99 at Griffin.
And if you haven’t done it already,download the iFM Radio Browser, Griffin’s standalone radio interaction program for iPhone and iPod touch, which is made to work with the Navigate. iFM identifies your geographic location; automatically populates a tuning menu with local radio stations within the United States (or you can choose your city from a list) and iFM displays broadcast information like title, album, artist, music genre for the song currently playing, the last several songs heard, and the radio station name and call letters. What else could you possibly need?
