4.0 out of 5 stars It works perfectly with iPod touch!, September 23, 2008

My goal was to be able to control my new iPod touch's (2G) playback and volume without having to look at it, due to the lack of physical buttons. You know, for times like when I'm working out and such. I ended up buying this gadget very unsure if it would work, for various reasons, the main ones being: lots of websites saying that this wasn't possible with iPod touch; lack of websites reviewing this product; and the fact that the manufacturer is completely unknown.
However, I can say that it works just the way I need. You can play/pause, change the volume, and go to the previous/next song. You can also plug the earphone directly into it so it acts like an extension. It has also a FM function that I frankly never tried because it doesn't matter to me.
The only downside for me is that it really looks very cheap. It's not ugly, it just looks like a bad "Made in China" product that you got in a Dollar Tree store.

2.0 out of 5 stars Clear signal, but changing stations is difficult, December 25, 2008

It's difficult to figure out what radio station you're listening to. A radio station is indicated on the ipod screen, but it's not necessarily the right radio station. To figure out what station it is, I turn the radio off and then turn it back on. It can be frustrating if you want to change stations constantly. The signal is generally clear though.

3.0 out of 5 stars Listening in the dark!, September 22, 2008

Both the radio and the remote control work fine in my ipod touch, but the station does not appear in the display, so that unless you always listen to your favourite station (fortunately, this is my case) you will have a hard time with this device. Even though it is announced in the wrapping, I still haven't figured out how to memorise stations. True, it is very cheap. But I think it is time that the users of ipod touch had an original radio accessory! I am willing to pay more for a device that is up to what an ipod stands for!
