Logitec's in-car FM transmitter: charge your MP3 player while pumping the jams

While it doesn't feature a fully integrated DAP like its LAT-FM300U cuz, Logitec's new LAT-FM110U does provide a low cost means to both charge and play your MP3 player while scooting about with four on the floor. The unit plugs into your vehicle's lighter socket for power and hosts both stereo-mini and USB jacks to pull the tunes while juicin' the the battery of your favorite portable audio player. Better yet, this new transmitter is said to decrease noise while improving sound over previous Logitec transmitters. Cable hell on the console? You betcha. Kicking out of Japan starting early December for about ¥4,980 or right around $42.

This company couldn't think of anything better than ripping off logitech's name and dropping the h? I'm starting a new company called Appl.

for the writer of this article, it's "Logitech" not "Logitec"... just so you know...

Oh, my bad, I didn't know there was a crappy company out there called "Logitec"... my mistake...

Surprised that the "real" Logitech hasn't sue them yet, when I read this article, I knew there's something wrong with "Logitec" but it was so close that I actually had to look on my keyboard to find out the difference!

How is this newsworthy? This item was announced way back in June. http://www.mobilemag.com/content/100/337/C8488/
