FM Transmitters: which one is the best?
Please choose the appropriate forum for this topic. Thank you. I am looking into getting an FM transmitter for my iPod Mini, and have narrowed it down to four options (note, prices are in $AU).
Griffin iTrip Mini $49
Belkin TuneCast II $59
XtremeMac Airplay $72.95
XtremeMac Airplay2 $85
What are everyone's experiences with these products?
I am trying to spend the least amount of money, as I will not be using it much, so right now I am leaning away from the two XtremeMac products, but if they come highly recommended I may be swayed.
EDIT: Sorry I should have mentioned that I don't want one that plugs into a cigarette lighter (or anywhere else for that matter) as I will be using it outside of the car as well.

I have the Kensington Digital FM Transmitter and it is leaps and bounds better than the Xtrememac Airplay which sounded like an AM radio with a high pitched whine in the background. I would recommend avoiding the Airplay.
The Kensington plugs into the dock connector in the bottom so it charges your iPod and uses the line out so you'll always have a charged iPod and the music quality is higher than through the headphone out. There are reviews in the accessory section of this site. It's more expensive than the ones you mention, but it's so much better, IMHO.

I read the reviews, and all of these products got B+ and above, so I am trying to decide which one to get.
