Griffin Technology has introduced the world’s first FM transmitter for the iPhone, a variant of its iTrip device.
That’s sure to be a popular gadget, and also suggests more such peripherals will emerge for the device in future, as iPhone generates its own surrounding ecosystem of third-party add-ons, just like iPod.
iTrip AutoPilot plugs directly into the 12V power port in your car while connecting to your iPhone or iPod through the dock connector. Built-in software scans the FM frequencies to find the best one to play music through, and the system supports RDS, meaning you can see what track’s playing on your car radio display.
The device costs £59.99 in the UK, $99.99 in the US.

What I really need is an AM/FM receiver for my iPhone, not a transmitter!
