• Transport controls allow track changes directly from the iTrip and return tactile button feedback to iPhone and iPod touch
• Micro-USB port for charging any USB-powered iPod or iPhone from any compatible charger, including Griffin’s classic PowerBlock or PowerJolt

“iTrip has defined the iPod accessory industry since its release seven years ago,” said Paul Griffin, creator of iTrip, founder and CEO of Griffin Technology Inc. “Now with app integration, iTrip represents the latest FM transmitter technologies and best user interface available anywhere.”

Griffin’s iTrip is available now and will set you back just shy of $50 whilst the iTrip Controller App, which is also now available, won’t cost you a bean (but will be useless without the iTrip hardware, obviously).
