...runs off of a 3V cr2 lithium battery (wtf?)

...offers a whopping 4 stations to choose from

...has a weak, rarely clear, static laden signal

...because of its cute bug like features I give it a generous 2 stars

I would definitely recommend looking around at other fm transmitters before buying this one. I've had it a little more then a week and I'm shopping for a different one. I could be wrong, but I don't believe Iriver had anything to do with this product.

I've listened to them all, and this one sounds great. Beats the heck out of Belkin, FID, and the others. Aerielle also makes one for the car (ATB-350) that has the same great sound. It looks like these guys also make the iriver transmitter, so look at those reviews if you want more input.

The AudioBug works just fine with my iPod 5G, with the exception of the auto-off feature. Mine will not shut off, even after disconnecting the audio source, even after letting it sit for several minutes. I've already drained 1 battery. And there's no manual way to shut it off. As a result, I need to remove the battery. Not very elegant.

July 2006. After testing the Jwin, Griffen 30BK, Edge DiskGO, and the Kensington Pico, and the MITO, the MITO wins hands down. The JWIN is not plug and play and presented quite a bit of static, the Griffin could not muster the volume, as was the case with the Kensington, and the Edge was just a P.O.S., with no stereo transmission, and a battery door that would not close. My test was specifically for transmission to a Panasonic Boom box, used while on vacation. In both N.J. and N.C., the MITO performed well, with little static, and plenty of volume for those late night jam sessions after the kids and wives were asleep. Go with the MITO, you won't be sorry.
