MWSF: Griffin RocketFM

By Scott McNulty

Some people may theorize that I am getting some kind of payola from the good folks at
Griffin Technology since I have posted about so many of their new products.

This is not the case; I can't help it if Griffin is releasing cool products at a break neck speed, can I?

The latest from Griffin is the RocketFM, a rocket ship shaped device that you hook up to your computer and it will transmit the audio on an FM frequency to any nearby FM receiver. It is iTrip for your Mac.

This could come in handy for an older Mac that isn't Airport equipped, and as a cheaper alternative to streaming your music with an Airport Express (though the Airport Express has many benefits besides the music streaming).

The RocketFM is a self-powered USB device, so no need for a power brick. It is priced at $39.99 and will be shipping sometime this quarter, but of course you can place your order now and compulsively check your email for the shipment notification.
