Measuring just 2 by 1.5 by 0.8 inches, this adorable FM transmitter looks like a silver ladybug. Plug it into your iPod's headphone jack, and the AudioBug will transmit the audio to one of four FM bands. While we loved the way that the AudioBug's blue "eyes" light up when it transmits music, we had to hold it right next to our FM receiver to get a clear signal. Sound quality was surprisingly good, if marred by some light interference, and Aerielle promises 40 hours of playing time from a single CR2 battery (typically found in cameras).

Just OK....try another fm transmitterby gdfetrow - October 2, 2005
Pros: size and it three different channels to find a open station
Cons: expensive batteries that don't last and it keeps dropping the signal and turning itself off!
Review: This mouse looking FM transmitter is overpriced and not reliable. The battery that comes with it will die on you quickly and replacments are not cheap. The worst part is the mouse(I mean bug) turns itself off and then you get a blast of static while you're driving. You then need to quickly find it to hit the power button before you loose your ear drums. The selection today with better prices would make me try another unit. ~Tony
