    there is nothing unfortunate about it, most people dont own HD TVs. and of those that do, a large portion of those sets are less than 40" so the higher resolution isnt worth the extra $$$ because the difference is miniscule.

  21. I ahve the non iPod Kessington on Five FM iPod Transmitters Reviewed · · Score: 1

    aka Kensington Universal FM Transmitter (available from Amazon.com) it was heads and shoulders above my previous Sony DCC-FMT3 Car FM Stereo Transmitter which I litterally had to attache the magnet from the antenna to my trucks arial. it also muffled the sound an any sudden jump of music like a loud drum beat.

    I purchased the kensington to use in rental cars over the summer, and with the first trip out of the way I was impressed, traveling from Tulsa, OK though Rogers AR to Branson Mo, and then down trough AR to Dallas TX then back up to OK City to go back to Tulsa. we had to change the freq about 4 times the entire trip, and overall we were quite happy with it. If you are looking for flawless sound you would be better off getting something the doesnt go through the FM band, but for rental cars it does the trick just fine
