Macally FMCup FM Transmitter and iPod Charger
Thursday, April 26th, 2007
Put the Macally FMCup in the cup holder in your car, plug it into the cigarette lighter and there you go: A wireless FM transmitter and iPod charger.
Don’t most car radios feature FM anyway? Mine does and my car doesn’t even feature anything as exotic as a cup holder. If I had the FMCup it would be hanging by its power cord from the cigarette lighter. It could be worse, I suppose. Some people’s cup holders might necessitate the wiring passing across the driver. That can’t be safe.
If you ask me, the high water mark in in-car sound technology was the tape-on-a-wire that you used to plug modern devices into primitive car audio systems. That was ingenious. A TAPE! AS A SORT OF PLUG! I have no idea how they did it and I don’t WANT to know. I’m happy in my fawning awe.
What an invention.
