I am now the happy owner of this and that. It works so fine I wonder if I will ever bring a CD on the road with me again... Bought them at Tweeter in Boston, they are often sold out in Apple and BestBuy stores.
Can you legally use them in France? They are only certified by for use in North America (FCC regulations).

oh dear, I am an outlaw now And I am using a WiFi channel here that is not allowed in France. Robert, this is thing has so little power that there is no effect outside of the Faraday cage my car is...
I have a iPod ordered and on the way, but are they really as good as everyone makes them sound or did I basically spend my money buying the brand name?
The transmitter sounds very similar to something I bought a few years back to make driving across the USA easier. (I paid $15 for mine but it was *only* a transmitter) The effective range of it is about 2 meters (6 feet for us dumb Americans) and, like Daniel joked about the Faraday cage, you can't even pick it up on the other side of an interior wall (about 8" and 2 sheets of sheetrock!). I seriously doubt that even if it is illegal that anyone could/would notice it.
Apple stores get TONS of returns on these. This is the first good review i've heard of this thing, most users prefer the griffin iTrip which is less expensive and gives you more radio options. Maybe it works better for you in France with different (less crowded?) radio frequencies, but here this is viewed as a piece of junk compared to it's competitors.
Aaron: iPods cannot play a whole album without adding extra gaps between the tracks. Very annoying. Some DAP are far better in that regard, so yes, you mainly buy the brand (when you see entire T stations in Boston covered with iPods ads, you can understand that they need to get those ads paid back by the customers )

Daniel,
you'll be the French Geek equviliant of Martha Stewart in jail.
In the US, most Target stores carry them. You can also buy online www.target.com/ But it seems they are sold out also.
I've got the original TuneCast, and might pick up a TuneCast II to end my battery dependence.
