The accesory retails online at Roberts web store

Meet Robi Roberts, a tiny and cute DAB and FM radio which was exclusively designed to work with your iPods (or Nano). The device is powered straight from the iPod and comes packed in a small round cornered remote control shape, which gives not only flexibility, but also more charm to the device itself.

When it comes to its design line, the small device features an ice blue display back light, so - in trends with the X-Mas holiday - it could make Santa change a reindeer for a piece of that. Besides that, another technical feature concerns the device's capability to remotely control the volume and music tracks of your own iPod, as an integral part of the Apple's item. There is also a search/manual tuning option, icons for favorite stations. The small gizmo is capable of displaying the FM RDS station name display, set the favorite station mode and more.

This seems to be an effort to make those very few iPod owners who want an FM tuner happy with a solution that is much better than the others that are on the market now, as well as make a few bucks off the ever expanding accessory market for the iPod.

The size seems to matter most when purchasing this, as Roby sports only 33 x 53 x 14mm and weighs around 30 grams, just as much as a Zippo lighter. When buying this, they also included a nice pair of iPod like earphones. The Roberts Robi is said to be compatible with iPod and iPod nano.

This is, among others, one iPod accessory you shouldn't miss, especially when you have the chance to put one on Santa's list. If you're interested in playing Santa and buying one of these for your lover, you should access the company's online web store, where Robi retails for about 50 pounds a piece!
