The iTube-101 ipod shuffle accessory from Audiax is made especially for use with the ipod shuffle. It has a built in dock which unlike that of the audiax II, charges your ipod shuffle at the same time as allowing you to play music through your radio. There are a lot of shoddy cheap alternatives around which aren't worth bothering with in terms of sound quality , whereas Audiax are reputed to be the best manufacturers in the field of wireless fm transmission. Also the iTube must be the most unusual and coolest gadget around, because it literally suspends your shuffle in mid air.
Another unique feature to this player is it stores 4 pre-set frequencies, for different areas which require a different frequency set. The wire which comes out of the cigarette lighter connection is made of a special bendable wire or flexible stalk , so the unit and your ipod shuffle will be suspended in mid air. The position can be adjusted to suit your needs.
Audiax have brought there expertise gained from the development of the audiax II to this product. Audiax are regarded as the best fm transmitters on the market. This is because: they have a clearer signal, they are easy to tune in with the LCD digital display, they allow you to tune in steps from 88.01mhz to 107.9mhz and match this to the frequency of your radio, ideally 88.1mhz.

Extract from the review -
"The important area of sound quality and FM transmission is where the iTube excelled. Even in a car known for lousy radio reception, the iTube did a good job transmitting listenable and enjoyable iPod shuffle sonic delights. The interface and display are easy to use and pleasant to look at, and the automatic on/off/charge function is very convenient."
