That is one solution and I usually use that when I connect my iPhone to my iPod FM Transmitter in my car. However, that's not always the best solution since you can't receive calls or SMS when you turn Airplane Mode on. That's the part that sucks.
You self-righteous tool, if you owned an iPhone you'd know it prompts you to go into flight mode when you plug into a non-sanctioned device. The problem is that, guess what, while in flight mode, you can't use the phone as an actual phone, which means no receiving calls or making them.
So if I'm in my office trying to listen to music through speakers on my iPhone, and I have to put it into flight mode to do so, my iPhone is no longer a phone, but an answering machine.
You're a self-righteous tool if you can't be without your phone to listen to some music for a little while.
If you weren't so busy cutting me off on the highway because you can't bother to use directionals or check your blind spot while you yap away on your precious iPhone, you might realize that not only is a little human contact a good thing, but your addiction to your phone is a really bad thing.
It's so hard to please everyone isn't it, fanman? Now you know the difficulties of being an engineer.
A problem that shouldn't have existed? Thanks for insulting the decades of military engineering and development that now allows the average joe to annoy the fuck out of everyone on the train.
Funny... I have had that same speaker set (Philips branded) for a while without the umm... nifty (?!?! is that the word?) iphone/pod stand.... seems to me like another cheep rebadged product to me. Way to go DLO! *snicker*
“An engineer explained to us that hundreds of ear impressions were gathered in the name of research, and while each one obviously boasted its own unique shape and size, one single characteristic remained uniform across the board: the entrance into the ear canal is not a perfect circle, it's an oval.”
Now that we've thrown 'em off the trail, use the form below to get in touch with the people at Engadget. Please fill in all of the required fields because they're required.
This is an ingenious solution to a problem that should never have existed in the first place.
If iPhone users were smart enough to turn on "flight mode", or whatever Apple calls it, they wouldn't have a problem at all.
I tried using a coworkers' iPhone with a $40 set of iPod speakers with dock and it worked perfectly with the phone in flight mode.
