Zune Wireless Remote for Zune Dock Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)First off, size wise it's about half the size of the Zune itself in just about every way. It's small, but not too small to where it could innevitably annoy you.
To me, the buttons seem like they are placed a tad oddly. The back button and play buttons are over the "d-pad", instead of on the sides of it like the Zune device itself. It takes some getting used to, and the two "skip track" buttons are even higher up then said back and play buttons, which is even more out of the way. Also, the two volume up/down buttons toward the button of the remote don't actually control the volume on the Zune. I still have yet to figure out what they do.
Now, even though the buttons are (in my humble opinion) placed oddly, the d-pad on the remote mimmicks the one on the Zune device spot-on. So, you actually don't really have to use the buttons if you don't want to. I do have one more quibble, though. The IR range doesn't seem to be that good. When I use it in my Car, I sometimes have to point the remote directly at the Dock to get any response. Maybe that's just me, though.
But, I digress. The remote does what it needs to, and pretty well overall. It also has the same "soft" feeling the Zune device has, and like the Zune, is pretty scratch resistant. Now, if only it came in Brown or White...

Apple iPod iPhone Accessories. Black FM Transmitter Car Charger Kit with Holder for Apple Iphone 3G iPhone 3G S iPod Touch 2nd Generation iPod Nano 5th Generation 5G Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)An overview of this item is that it works as designed. I have an iPod Touch 3G with a plastic case and this device holds it well. It hasn't slipped or fallen out once. The wide range of channels on the device provides great sound quality with no static or interference at all. This device sits about a foot away from my radio and this distance is no problem at all. Some other iPod FM transmitters require the device to be placed literally next to the radio in order for the music to even come through. This transmitter though provides a great broadcasting signal at any of the channels available. However, there is a faint high pitched whine that accompanies the music through the speakers and increases and decreases with the volume. This whine is negligible though and hardly noticeable.
The car charger portion fits in very well in my car (02 Honda Civic) but the connector is not flexible or bendable as in other models. Also, my cup holder flips open and closed and while this device doesn't keep you from having drinks there, I am unable to open or shut the cup holder once the device is inserted into the car charger. However, the connector allows for the iPod to be rotated 180 degrees up and down and I find the lack of flexibility with the positioning of the device doesn't bother me at all. The iPod charges well through this device and connection is simple.
Overall this product works. For the price, I would definitely recommend it.
UPDATE:
I wanted to update my review of this product after months of use. The original transmitter I purchased ended up breaking. The chord that connects the transmitter to my iPod Touch ended up breaking in half and completely came apart. This happened without any wear at all and seemed to be a natural progression of the chord simply moving around. I purchased another one (how can you beat the
