omg - and I can make my new iPod Classic 120GB be a radio, too!

Does anyone else have one of these gadgets? Are you happy with it? And will I be able to plug into my new little JBL On Stage Micro Portable Speaker Dock? Will we be able to listen to radio in the kitchen, which currently gets utterly crap reception due to location at bottom of courtyard in 1908 building with very thick walls, or is there only so much technology can do?

It looks like that plugs in at the bottom where the dock would go, so I doubt it would work, unless there is some gadget that makes for 2 dock receptacles on the bottom of an iPod (I've learned to never say never with gadgets).

iLounge (http://www.ilounge.com/) has lots of iPod info, toys, etc.

I have a kerosene powered, er, 3rd gen iPod, circa 2003. Someday soon I hope to be on here squee-ing about owning an iPhone, but it's not today. :P

It does use the dock connector. (It's also not going to work any better than an FM radio with an external antenna, and probably worse.)

I haven't seen any kind of dock splitter, and based on my understanding of the way the iPod communicates over the cable, doubt one would be possible. (At most you'd get something that passed through the sync and power connections while having a speaker jack or something, like the Apple dock.)

I'll second the recommendation for iLounge, though. Comprehensive review coverage, and they usually do a round-up of various accessories each year as a buyer's guide.
