iPods get Bluetooth, Remote Control

Posted by michael on from the conspicuous-consumption dept.

imagin8or writes "TheRegister tells us that Griffin, makers of various stylish Mac accessories, is adding remote and Bluetooth addons for iPods: BlueTrip, to connect your iPod to your hi-fi wirelessly, and AirClick, to remote control your iPod, iPod mini, or Mac/PC (3 products) via RF. The article also mentions FireWave (due Q2), which will be a FireWire connected (and powered) digital surround sound module. Now you can control your hi-fi from your iPod, your iPod from your remote and therefore lose both in the sofa cushions without pausing your electro-pop playlist."

    I think there is something a little amusing when the remote is not much smaller than the thing being controlled with it.

      It still has less capacity than a Nomad.

      Christ, 12 hours and noone took your bait?
